[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend who adopted an AA child (she and her husband are white) have had their neighbors make some very bizarre and offensive comments about her child and other minorities. Plus, one of them is always telling her that she's too skinny. No thanks. They live in North KCMO.[/quote]

Ah, so you base an entire city of a half a million and an entire metro of over 2 million off of experiences in a small section of the area that is particularly white and conservative? I haven't lived in Kansas City in years, but I don't think it's changed that much or went backward and I don't remember it being like that. I don't know if you mean the small blue-collar suburban town of North Kansas City, MO, which has a population of about 4,000, if you mean the city of Kansas City, MO north of the river, or if you mean a particular suburb north of the river on the Missouri side. Regardless, the entire area north of the river is very white and conservative and more representative of typical Missouri than it is of Kansas City, which is not like that, and I think the river was probably used as that sort of barrier intentionally. Most of the people from north of the river are Missouri natives and often from small towns or rural Missouri. It's also a very blue-collar area. Most of the transplants and more liberal types live in urban Kansas City or in suburban Johnson County, KS, which is the suburban corporate hub.[/quote]
