The mural was called The Rainbow of Diversity, for these neighborhoods in the south of the city claimed to have the most diverse zip code in the country. The mural bore a mawkish earnestness in the depictions of women in headscarves or gypsy earrings, men in a mariachi band beside a man in an Osama turban. They’d thrown in a busty blond woman on the mural. Had I seen a single one of those walking around here yet? Nope. Someone should have scaled back the heavy-handedness of all this.
