[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time I see people saying the south is so much more racist than the north, I think of that Nice White Parents podcast where they talk about the fact that people in NYC always say the south is so racist and they're so much more progressive yet their schools are more segregated than anywhere else in the entire country.

because it's about $$ not about skin color.  I'm a nonwhite person who lived in a very white, rich area.  I noticed how non diverse that area was given that I grew up in an area where white people were the minority.

Wealthy areas that have very little diversity are that way due to wealth and SES, not because of racism.[/quote]

Ummm...and why do the white people in those areas have wealth and a higher SES that allows them to segregate themselves?[/quote]

Thank you!

P PP, you identify yourself as a nonwhite person.  I’m sure you are aware that not all “nonwhite” people have similar histories or similar experiences.  I’ll stop there and let you pondering that a bit. [/quote]
um yea, but you realize that *today* they are not segregating themselves because of race but because of SES.

Also, I grew up lower income.[/quote]
