Are you living in the US? That's a very broad question. Let me try to give you my impression in a few words...
I think the diversity situation is not as complex in Germany compared to the coastal areas in the US – if you're talking about ethnicity. Sexual orientation and identity is not as much of a big deal here as well. Not because those questions are frowned upon or considered unimportant, but because those things are looked at with a more relaxed, laissez-faire attitude, at least in the urban areas. It's much less charged with political and religious ideas and action, maybe also because those questions are considered _a bit_ more private as well.
Those are just my 2 cents though, maybe someone else can add his own view, I'd be very interested in that myself.
