We are white and want our kids growing up in a diverse neighborhood. Kids that are unfamiliar, awkward, or hostile with diversity will be at a disadvantage. America's future population will be diverse whether you like it or not.[/quote]

Say it louder for the folks in the back! I'm glad someone gets it. [/quote]

That is more true for ethnic diversity if anything.  SES-wise, society is becoming more and more segregated, and people with similar aspirations, values and standards will cling together regardless of their color.  See McLean for Exhibit 1. [/quote]

I'm white and I 100% agree and am unashamed to live in such a neighborhood.  Our neighborhood is full of successful Asians, Hispanics and Blacks (less so than Asians). White people as a whole are a minority. I have no desire to live in a SES diverse community. [b]No desire to deal with the social problems and resulting bad choices that get people in trouble [/b]and no desire for those people to be my kids peers. My kids are likely to go to college, are likely to have professional careers and people from like cloth will be their peers as well. No need to muddy the waters.

Flame away. #noapologies[/quote]

This assumes that all people are low SES due to choices they make.  I 100% disagree--if you know anything about the history of this country, you know it is really difficult for some people to move up the socioeconomic ladder, due to no fault of their own.

As one example, check out the graphic here, that shows the likelihood of staying wealthy for white vs. black boys:

Yiu can never say ALL people, but many poor people make bbn poor choices which leads to more poverty. Starts with the basics, having kids pit of wedlock and not finishing school. I come from poverty and saw it in my own family and the peers I grew up with.[/quote]
