You're joking, right?
I wasn't being totally serious, it's true the bay area is significantly more racially diverse than the US as a whole, but the issues and political atmosphere in the area isn't so far removed from the general population.
most of the people outside the bay area dont know that most of the people in the bay outside of SF generally doesnt like the city and is completely unrepresentative to what the Bay actually is like.
Even within SF there's plenty of great areas, but "peace and tranquility in the sunset district" doesn't make headlines. SF has a ton of problems and I really hope we can fix them in the long term, but they tend to only be in certain parts of the city. Saying all of SF is like this is akin to saying the entire bay area is like SF. They're both massive overgeneralizations.
