Culture, yes. Race, not necessarily.
I'm not ignorant to the fact that there are some moderate correlations between race and culture but I wouldn't want exclude a black conservative family man because of some stupid racial purity test. You can put white trash types on the same boat back to whogivesashitstan with ghetto thug types for all I care though. |

Just a sample of my street (5 houses) white, Arab, older black couple, bi-racial couple, and I'm Asian. Pretty diverse, BUT it feel predominately 1 race neighborhoods are crap for value (except for the obvious). But the ones that were historically white drop in value when the others join in. At one point my Hispanic mother in law was moving a lot for work, she would say "the best place to live is where there is diversity!". She would then pick a place that was ~90% white. IMO she just wanted enough diversity to make sure the white people were not eating the minorities. |

I dunno, what do you think?
Different folks have different values. Different norms. Different habits. It's really only an issue when Demographic A and Demographic B wind up having clashing values. For example, I value a quiet neighborhood after about 8pm. I gotta get a good sleep and work in the morning. The neighbor that doesn't give a shit about quiet, doesn't give a shit about getting to bed, and doesn't prioritize being well rested for work in the AM, that is a conflict in values. I don't want to try and coexist with people who don't share my basic day to day life values. An intellectual curious and honest person might ask "in general, what demographics tend to conform to what values? Is there valid statistical data? And how does that impact neighborhood viability and culture? People with means will always try to get away from shitty living conditions and try to go somewhere more peaceful and organized. If that results in a second order effect of Race "A" coalescing as a homogenous community away from other demographics, that in itself is also evidence. In a micro-scale, I welcome people of any race in my neighborhood, as long as they are respectful, fly right, and don't cause fucking trouble!!!!! And I think that's the best you can do in a clown world where Team Marxist Obama has spent the last 20 years encouraging certain people to act out and removed all their social and legal accountability for it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By odiedodi: No, it's not. It's only racist if it's a purposeful decision based on a belief of the superiority of your race. I don't think most people consciously factor in race into their housing decisions, yet most neighborhoods end up racially divided to some extent. That makes some people uncomfortable to think about, but it's the truth. You can't punish people for what they apparently do naturally, again, unless you want to forcibly redistribute the population of the entire country. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By odiedodi: Originally Posted By Sharkman74: its racist AF A Federal Judge did exactly that to every kid in the Milwaukee Public Schools in about 1976.

I never knew I was a "Motherfuckin Honkey" until then. I had two black friends at that school, they mysteriously would disappear right before the trouble started, every time.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mancat: One of my wife's friends was born in St Petersburg, came to the US as a teenager in the late 90s. She was our son's piano teacher for a time. Trained concert pianist. If you showed up for a lesson 5 minutes late she would refuse to open the studio door for you. No smiles. No laughter. All business. One of the most serious people I've ever met. She is friendly though in the most Slavic way possible. Wife met her when she was teaching dance classes and she was like, shit, this Russian girl could be teaching the class alone. I once made the mistake of wearing a shirt with Stalin on it that said "dark humor is like food not everyone gets it" during one of our kid's preschool activity events that she was also going to. I didn't realize her straight up FOB Russian mom would be there. She took one look at my shirt and her eyes got wide. I thought, oh fuck. She explained what the shirt said, her mother did not laugh but simply nodded in agreement @mancat About the bolded part, what is friendly in a Slavic way? |

No it’s not wrong, but I’d rather live by people who share my values and beliefs. I’d rather live by a conservative black guy than a white liberal any day, unfortunately there aren’t many conservative black people in my area.
Near me there are several upper middle class neighborhoods made up of 99% whites with a BLM in every other yard, I certainly wouldn’t want to live there. |

People use "white flight" as a pejorative. My father grew up in an Irish family on a street of Italian families. In the early 70s the demographics began changing. Black people moved in, white people moved out, and the street went from well-kept to burned out houses, cars on blocks, and high crime. My grandfather was the last white person on the street when my father was finally able to get him out. For years after, that street was basically a no-go zone unless you were there to buy drugs. Should my grandfather and his old neighbors be scorned for leaving? How can you scorn people for leaving and then turn around and scorn others for gentrification when they want to move in?

I'm sure people in this thread are lined up around the block to tell us all about them. That doesn't change the fact that I am statistically most likely to see my morals, my values, and my social norms reflected in white people of European descent.
