Race-mixing not your thing?

Would you move to a town where it's residents have subscribed to a philosophy that says "only our race can/should live here"? This isn't a question that should draw a "well, if I really like the home, school district, property taxes, etc." response. I'm asking if you'd move to such a town specifically due to it's residential exclusivity.

For reference:

If you would, why? If not, why not?

 

In short, no.

It seems to me that the mean and median intelligence in such a town would be substantially lower than what I would like to be surrounded by.

I don't think that (*)(*)(*)(*)ty people are (*)(*)(*)(*)ty because of the color of their skin, because of their religion, any other factor that can be negatively stereotyped. I think they are (*)(*)(*)(*)ty because they are ignorant.

 

I agree with Think for Myself.

 

I do not choose my place of residence based on the racial makeup of the neighborhood. I choose it based on my own best interest. "My best interest" is served by relevant factors like economic, security, education, entertainment, convenience, freedom, liberty, government. It may well be that those factors happen to serve "my best interest" when the racial makeup of the neighborhood happens to match my own race. But it does not play a factor in the decision until it places me at a significant enough disadvantage to offset the other factors.

 

Oh, I thought this thread was about swirling.

Still no though.

 

Native Americans are genetically half white and half Asian. For example, 46% of the Cherokees belong to the Indo-European haplogroup R1 and 50% of them are classified as the Asian haplogroup Q. Native Americans are originally from Siberia, which has been a racial melting pot for the past 30,000 years. Many native Siberians are also half white and half Asian (e.g. the Khanty, living in Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug) as a result of racial mixing, which has been the norm in Siberia, and it's also part of my genetic makeup as well as many other Russians.

 

No, because people who want to segregate due to race also tend segregate due to other things like religion, sexual-preference, income, political affiliation, nationality, hair color, what brands you wear etc... These type of people have an over-inflated view of their self worth and a low opinion of opposing viewpoints. Plus who wants to live in a neighborhood that is all the same? I've seen those neighborhoods and it is like the freakin' stepford wives.

I live in a fairly diverse neighborhood. At dinner, I can step outside my house and expect to smell fajitas, BBQ ribs, spaghetti, and curry. What would I gain by moving to an all white neighborhood.

 

You mean like gene frequencies and brain volume?

I'm sure blacks and whites have, on average, equally large brains and gene frequencies...

 

Obviously yes, it is a much better place to live when there is social cohesion.

 

I don't like diversity of culture....but I certainly believe in the value of racial diversity. I'm thinking....there might be some kids in Vermont who have never seen a black person close up. This is a sad state of affairs.

 

I have no desire to live under Klan Overlords, and my cat wouldn't allow me to move, and he pretty much makes all the rules.....

 

Why is it sad?What benefit is there in seeing a black person?

 

....I like your photo shop....

 

No. If the town had that our race only policy, they wouldn't let me live there anyway regardless of the race of the town.

 

you have fallen off the shelf.....

 

If I was black(negroe) I wouldn't want to marry a white person,because look what happened to the Kenyon...(mixed marriage)

 

Oh there is a benefit to learning to see people instead of color. It's harder if a different color of skin is foreign to you.

 

You did not answer the question, but rather went on a politically correct tangent.

 

There has been multi culturalism extending back to the romans and alexander the great

 

My point still remains, I do not see how your post is relevant to mine.

 

I'm not politically correct. And I did answer your question. Try reading slower.

 

Why is that sad? Why not mention black African children who have never seen a white?

BTW, what is the benefit to having blacks in society (beyond rappers and basketball players)?

 

Unfortunately a cities (or neighborhoods) "stance" on racial issues is never published. At least not overtly.

I would not want to live where the race of the people moving in was a factor in how welcome they were. In any case.

 

I know many blacks who are an asset to our society. You don't know any? Evidently you only know blacks through other eyes...whether it be through the news or other people. Honestly....you have not had black friends, black neighbors? I'm just asking...Because a white person in a diverse environment such as myself...knows the difference between a black person who shares my like values and gives a lot to society and a black person caught up in black ghetto culture. That is the education racial diversity brings.

 

I wouldn't move to a place with an actually policy like this, because I know that the people running such a town would be authoritarian and so far right that they are falling of the scale. But if a place just happened to be all white (my race), I certainly wouldn't leave there out of some feeling that I "need more diversity". There is nothing inherently wrong with being surrounded by your own race, but if your town is full of rednecks who "don't take kindly", then you live in a town of ********s.
