[quote=Anonymous]I think this almost 100 percent depends on HOW you grew up. I grew up with very few white people, BUT I grew up in a large enough area (Chicago) where there was a pocket of black wealth. So didn't correlate "the whiter areas" with better opportunities or nicer schools/houses because we had our own upper middle class culture/areas. My husband grew up in a smaller area in Ohio and in order to access a decent high school education he went to a majority white Jesuit high school. We BOTH had great upbringings and loved our communities but we have very different ideals on how important diversity is. He didn't mind being one of the few black kids but his sister REALLY struggled with it. I think gender can make a difference here too. My "gut" is to always stay with our people though if I had to make a quick black and white (no pun intended) decision. [/quote]
