I live in a university city so thereโ€™s a mix of everyone here. About 6%.

@Zonuss My neighborhood is a melting pot too.
DearAmbellina2113 ยท 41-45, F
45.7% White, 23.7% Black, 1.3% Asian, 13.0% from other races, and 2.5% from two or more races; 27.8% Hispanic or Latino.
Zonuss ยท 46-50, M
@helenS It's just a classification issue based on economics and government. But I do understand what you are saying. ๐Ÿ™‚โœจ
DearAmbellina2113 ยท 41-45, F
@Zonuss it's very diverse. Texas. Not far from Houston, which is one of the most diverse cities in the US.
Zonuss ยท 46-50, M
@DearAmbellina2113 Yes it's very diverse there. ๐Ÿ™‚
Zaphod42 ยท 51-55, M
Every race, creed, religion, sexuality and nationality are represented in my area. When my GF took the citizenship oath over 100 nations were represented by the participants of that one ceremony alone. I have no idea what the percentages are though.

@Zonuss The elephant in the room is the pattern that most of us have seen in your line of questioning over the years. You might benefit from a little diversity training. Those people who have the hardest time with racism, are those who refuse to acknowledge their own.
PiecingBabyFaceTogether ยท 31-35, M
I have no idea. Egyptians come in all colors. Racism here is religion related.
PiecingBabyFaceTogether ยท 31-35, M
@SW-User I don't know why I would be offended by the color of my ancestors. I don't like being called stupid though.
Zonuss ยท 46-50, M
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Spare me the fake news. Egypt is in Africa. The Original Africans were Black Indigenous people. They evolved later on due to multiculturalism and race mixing. Of course there are Blacks here that are almost as light as you. ๐Ÿ™‚
PiecingBabyFaceTogether ยท 31-35, M
@Zonuss
Of course there are Blacks here that are almost as light as you

This is hilarious ๐Ÿ˜‚

You know whatever happened happened what matters is now. There's nothing we can do about the past. Just love everyone equally and you're good.
SW-User
Yeah, I think every city or town does.
Zonuss ยท 46-50, M
@SW-User In the US there are towns in Idaho and Iowa that have no people of color. And that is ok. ๐Ÿ™‚

Why is it African Americans? Never hear European Americans, or terms like that. Should I describe myself as Celt English?
Zonuss ยท 46-50, M
@Fukfacewillie If you are in the US the political term is African American. ๐Ÿ™‚
Fukfacewillie ยท 56-60, M
@Zonuss Iโ€™m fine either way. โ€œBlackโ€ has made a comeback, too. A bit of โ€œreclaiming.โ€
REMsleep ยท 41-45, F
@Fukfacewillie For me black is informal and AA is for very formal uses such as politics.
Dlrannie ยท 31-35, F
The City I live in is one of the most racially diverse in the country and thatโ€™s before you consider the large number of people who come from all over the World to study at its Internationally renowned University. ๐Ÿ™‚

A few that moved here to lead an easier life.
The rest (from USA) came with the Peace Corps, usually young people.
Zonuss ยท 46-50, M
@arkod What do you mean easier. ๐Ÿค”
arkod ยท 36-40, M
@Zonuss Easier as in simpler and sustainable. Those people were from very poor African countries. There was never racism towards Black or Asian people here where I live.
Remembering back 20 yrs ago, I hadn't seen a black person here. It was then when they started moving here.

The kind of toxic, "colorful," racism that exists in USA is completely unfathomable here.
Zonuss ยท 46-50, M
@arkod Interesting. ๐Ÿค”
KristinaM ยท 36-40, F
Itโ€™s about the same as yours. 15.5% black, 5% biracial, 75%white, then the rest asian and Pacific Islanders.

@KristinaM Nice. ๐Ÿ™‚

cd4259 ยท 61-69, M
WTF here I Australia everyone lives where they want to and can afford to, no percentages of color, creed or race is taken into account. Except maybe the remote communities in the outback.
helenS ยท 36-40, F
@cd4259 Appears to be a beautiful country. ๐ŸŒท
Zonuss ยท 46-50, M
@cd4259 Not true. Australia has had it's issues with people of color. Recently the Black indigenous ones. ๐Ÿ™‚
@Zonuss Australia seems to have the same social issues with its indigenous population as north America has with its indigenous population. Alcoholism, poverty, marginalization , and disenfranchisement. Mostly an overlapping combination of all four, and their interactive contribution to each other.
My neighborhood is predominantly black. There are other neighborhoods that are predominantly white. It seems like the predominantly black neighborhoods are more common, but I am pretty sure that's just how it seems to be and not how it really is.
@Zonuss I knew you were shallow, but I had no idea you were this shallow.

In 1970's I went to a predominantly white school and then a black family moved in. He was a grade older than me and approached me in the shower asking, "I hear someone's messing with my sister. What do you know about it"?

I said, "I don't know who your sister is, what's she look like"?

He laughed and walked away thankfully lol

@Zonuss I can read, and understand Spanish at maybe 3rd or 4th grade level not withstanding some heavily accented speakers but I have no native languages other than English.
My great grandfather was a native creole speaker but it wasn't passed down.

Hell if I know. I've never went around counting and sorting through people by color.
@MoonlightLullaby It's just melanin. That is what baffles me the most. The beef is mostly because of culture, history, and individual negative experiences.
