In DC, I’ve experienced none.

I'm black and I'm from New England. DC is better.

Anywhere with a large and culturally significant white working class is generally not good for POC. Boston has that, DC doesn't.

White people can’t experience racism. Only POC can.

A: I think you missed the joke.
B: Horseshit.

Which city is better overall for living in and why? I have a huge potential job opportunity in Boston. It'd be a big effort to move up there though from here.

DC is boring. Boston is an a-hole magnet.

Why? Because they don't think about DC, at all?

Do you think the term "M*sshole" came out of nowhere?

You say you are from this area OP? Then you would prefer this area.

DC = lots of people working for the government

Such places are generally more relaxed and down-to-earth.

True in general, but not true of Boston.

This is going to sound racist, but I don’t care. But I prefer Boston because it’s full of poor white people.

No, none. NE and Anacostia are nothing but worldly retired foreign service officers playing bridge.

PP here. I should have said that I’m a POC so it’s refreshing to see so many whacked out poor white peoples land handling.

You can ride the bus for more than 10 minutes in Boston without seeing a screaming match or hearing the N word ten times. Try to do that in DC
