Are you being a tolerant human being if you say "i prefer people in my neighborhood share my culture?"

You're not being tolerant or intolerant, you're simply expressing a preference; maybe it's being a bit closed-minded but w/e. The problem comes when you demand everyone in your neighborhood shares your identity and reject anyone who doesn't; that's intolerance.

"i prefer the people that I work with speak the same language as I do"

Sure, but is this a big problem in the US though? You can't communicate with people at work? 'Cause I live very close to London which is one of the most diverse cities in the world and everyone I work with speaks English and when I go to London it's never an issue that I can't get something done because the other guy doesn't speak English. So is this really costing you sleep?

So if you prefer "common values", what do you do about other, diverse, values?

Define 'values'. To me that equates to being law abiding and generally a decent citizen. And there's a lot more diversity within a group on those kinds values than between groups. Not all the good people wear white hats, so to speak.
