This public acceptance of diversity doesn’t seem to include Muslims, given the upswing in the unwillingness to have Muslims as neighbors – see the graph below. That’s probably a result of 9-11 and everything that came of it. More difficult to explain is the unhappiness about immigrants apparent from the same graph:

The increase in tolerance of homosexuals, shown by graph above, is coherent with these data.

Attitudes towards immigrants are negative everywhere:
