Insinuating that people that dont want to live in an ALL anything neighborhood because they are racist is pure nonesense....people have a RIGHT to prefer their own kind and to live where and with whom they are comfortable and WANT TOO....that does not translate into HATE or any other emotion.
I grew up and worked with and was in the military with blacks that DONT WANT TO LIVE IN AN ALL BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD....period
I have to "mostly" disagree
we only have ONE item we are using for a decision.
Unless you are a first or 2nd generation immigrant I think its weird and stupid for that ONE thing to be a factor of any merit.
These blacks you speak off that dont want to live in an all black neighborhood I would guess (totally guess I could be wrong) were falsely associating it with poverty or crime etc etc (tv, movies, media)
Neither of those are a factor here :shrug:
Race of neighbors should never be a factor and thats the part that I think is nonsense. "IF" the neighborhood has the things I want, school district, good location to work or shops or school or maybe even more personal space, clean, low crime or anything else you or I may want race of neighbors is waaaaaaaaaaaay at the bottom LOL
Now like I said, I say this being an american my whole life and a many generation american. Newer americans I could understand wanting to associate more with their own for security, learning and maybe even easy access to their recently departed culture (food, religion, music etc) but im guessing they would change their minds if that neighborhood had a ****ty school district, high crime, looked like **** etc etc etc
I do agree with you though, I wouldnt go as far as it means "one is definitely racist" you can NOT draw that absolute from the decision unless you ask MORE questions and try to understand why.
But I think what people are getting at in this thread and what the OP "tried" and failed to do is to paint race as the most or highly significant factor. Its just not and if it is, IMO those people might have a serious issue. Id have to ask them why they care and rank it so high FIRST though.
Another GUESS is im thinking people are looking at this thread for what it is, one dimensional and stupid.
Race "alone" in most cases should never be a factor.
for example
Hey mike! I found a really nice house you and you family should look at. Its in the High-honors school district, right by our church and about a mile away from the shopping complex we always go to. My Cousins live in that same area they love it, its really clean and beautiful there, the neighbors are old school neighbors and crime is low. Its only about 15mins from where they are going to build your new office building and a direct bus route comes right by there to go to the football games!
yeah buddy, looks like we will be having pregame at your house from now on!!!
If mikes next question is "how many black people live there" Mike PROBABLY has some serious issues LMAO
now, its not certain and of course my example laid it on PRETTY THICK lol but Im just trying to show you how stupid the OP is because of his shallow one dimensional question.
Bottom line, everybody probably makes up
their own scenario in their head and the one piece of information the OP gives you is not nearly enough information for anybody normal and objective IMO
