What if I'm not racist, but I don't want people from other cultures as neighbours?

That is an ok thing to desire. Personally, I would find living in a homogenous community preferable. I want a peaceful life, among reasonable people who moderate themselves. I am tired of conflict, and having to tolerate those who impose their beliefs on others and me.

Diversity is a social problem not a cause for celebration IMHO. Is it wrong to want this?

I think that's xenophobia, not racism?
Fear of outsiders != affinity for your in-group
Affinity for your in-group doesn't imply not wanting out-group neighbours. Not wanting out-group neighbours is xenophobia.
