ohh but that doesn't mean racism doesnt exist.. but we have had a more varied cultural mix than a lot of places for several generations now. that doesnt mean there arent racists here either.. there are.. but the issues is pointed more at immigration that at skin colour lately (but the lowest common denominator cant tell the difference)what IS happening here that people dont like is reverse racism.many larger cities now have areas where minority communities are creating and employing, and buying up houses in specific areas for only their race and driving out residents who may have lived in that area for generations.. i see this as "taking over" areas instead of integrating. kind of like reverse gentrification. the immigration issue is more about people not stopping at the first 'safe' country they can and coming all the way here because they think we're richer/nicer.
the driving out thing is basically the harrassment of the "different" people in the area.. this goes on regardless... even in fully white areas some people end up as targets... a small white population in an asian area will be targetted by asian youths just like how a small asian population in a white area is in some cases.
White priviliege, hmm I live in a trailor park full of crackheads, i make $9.00 an hour. I go to a college that I pay for myself therefore i am dead broke. I had to sell my car to go to college so I don't have a car. I get pulled over all the time for going 30 in a 25 when im just going the same speed as traffic. Just because I drive a bucket I don't see myself having a car for many years to come because outta the 600 i make a MONTH i spend 430 of it on school. THATS white privilige for ya.
