[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we also live in milwaukee- and its been shockingly warm this november, but was puffer season into april last spring which is to be expected.  I am "diverse" culturally and was surprised by how diverse Milwaukee is, i live on the east side, near the north shore villages. I don't think you should assume that there is a lack of diversity, cultural or religious. We moved from EOTP DC and i grew up in NW DC so while there might not be "fancy" BIPOC, there are tons of immigrants and people from all over.My kids can even take mandarin after school- when we had school and I'm sure the Madison schools are even better b/c of the University.  We  hear people speaking foreign languages walking around here as well , maybe a little more russian and polish and less french than DC but you'd be surprised.  there are a lot of palestinians (yummy middle eastern food) lots of asians as there usually are in university towns (im asian). For some reason a lot of eastern europeans and Russians, like as many there used to be in Dc in the 80s in my childhood.   Madison is super progressive and the farmers market is amazing. I didn't know you could cross country ski at the arboretum! so psyched to do that this winter since everything else is no go b/c of COVID. [/quote]

So basically shades of white diversity. [/quote]
Um, Milwaukee is 38% black and 15% Hispanic. Is that the right kind of diversity for you, SJW poser? [/quote]

DP but Milwaukee is actually not part of Madison. They are two different cities. Madison is nearly 80% white. Personally that is not the right kind of diversity for me, but it seems like an okay place. I lived in a similar place (large Midwestern college town) and their brand of white savior liberalism was irritating to me. [/quote]
But the poster that the “shades of white diversity” SJW lives in Milwaukee and was referring at least in part to how diverse Milwaukee is. [/quote]
That’s a very narrow-minded way to look at diversity. Yes, Milwaukee has a large number of minorities - great! - but just because they exist does not equal any true (or even semblance of) integration or inclusivity. It’s the most segregated city in the country. [/quote]
