95.10 percent white for my current county of residence

This is actually one of the more diverse places. The county I grew up in is 99.35 percent white, as of the current census.

My high school, which only had 450 kids in it (considered a mid-sized school in the state at the time), had zero African Americans, one Hispanic, and one Asian (father was a white guy).

I think diversity, in terms of gender, sexuality, religion, race, and so on are a good thing. That way, life is challenging and you're always learning new things and finding out new things about yourself the and the world at large. I grew up, as stated, in a rural county with 10,000 people, one high school, and was almost entirely white. There's diversity within that, of course, no two people are exactly alike -- however, most of our major cultural touchstones were. Thankfully, my parents, especially my mother, encouraged me to experience lots of different perspectives.
