It plays with many variables to show the consequences of these choices, but never questions the basic assumption that shapes are happier in a diverse environment.

It then goes on to conclude "Demand diversity near you".

I know what they try to accomplish, but I still think it's a dishonest (or at least incomplete) approach.

If you read the base assumption naively as "white people are happier with a certain fixed percentage of black people around," then yes, it sounds silly. I think what you should be taking away as the basic assumption is: all other things being equal, an integrated society is healthier than a segregated society.
