Tell you what you can live in the 50% black city and I'll live in the
90% white city. Then you can demonstrate your "tolerance" and I'll
moralize at you.
I was born in and frequently spend time in a major American city which
has a "white" population of ~30%. About 60% are African-American. My
father grew up there, and my sister still lives there. I can't say that
we have ever found "the race thing" to be much of a problem. No, I don't
want you to tell me why you have such difficulty living near people of
other races & cultures. It's really obvious.
I guess it all depends on which part of town you frequent.
