I think a sample computation will help here.
Suppose your state is 60% orc, 30% undead, and 10% tauren. You chance in a random selection of two being of the same race is as follows:
For a total of 46%. The diversity index would be 100% minus that, or 54%.

Glad you used an actual measure of diversity. A lot of times I see a measure that simply equates to the percentage of non-whites. Which would mean a place that is 100% black is somehow more diverse than a place that is 50% black and 50% white.

So New England (Maine, VT, NH) is the least diverse in the country with ME winning the title?
