No, but in my humble opinion, you should listen to your dad, he's older and probably wiser than you.

Why not Lake county? That's where I was raised, and there are a lot of problems in that county with Mexican immigrants literally taking over and destroying certian school districts. Namely, Waukegan, Round Lake, and noadays Mundelein. (60% hispanic, 50% hispanic, and 25%+ hispanic respectively)

No, but it's a safe bet in Chicago. In Miami, there are actually entire neighborhoods where the average home value exceeds a half million to (in some cases) over a million, and the neighborhoods are two thirds hispanic, with only a third white non-hispanic. This is a template for success that does not exist in Chi-town and its burbs.

I think I liked this thread a lot better when it was dormant.

What people fail to realize is that most crime is not random. It usually involves people that live a certain lifestyle and that know each other in some way.

Also, most crime in intraracial. So, a person is most likely to have a violent crime against them by someone of the same race. For instance, 86% of White victims and 94% of Black victims of violent crime were violated by people of that same race from 1976-2005 in this country. So, that is proof right there that the person that will victimized your violently will look most likely like you.

While there might be some issues with crime that vary by race, for the overwhelming part, most people of any race aren't criminals.

A good place to check this out is here:Bureau of Justice Statistics Home page

and here:Persons Arrested - Crime in the United States 2005

Some other things to think about are this:69.8% of arrests in this country the last year were of Whites this past year. 59% of violent crimes arrests were of Whites as well.

The percentage of drug abusers in this country roughly mirrors the demographics of this country. Meaning that about 70% of drug abusers are actually White in this country. Also, the rate of drug abusers between Blacks and Whites are roughly the same(in the 7-7.5 range).

Just some information to think about........

The problem with those statistics is that Hispanics (Mexicans in Illinois) are lumped into the "white" category. This is the fault of the Census Bureau for calling Mexican and Central Americans white. As long as the government wants to know what color people are, dont you think they should get it right? Many of these folks are former Aztec and Mayan warriors, and by no means - scientifically, historically, anthropologically, fit under any definition of white-European. Look at the sexual predators in any given Chicago suburb and half of them are hispanic, even though they only represent 10% -20% of the population on a good day. There is also a disproportionate number of "stabbings" - ALWAYS with knives, involving dysfunctional Hispanic families in Lake County. Read the crime blotters in Lake County and all the offenders names end in an "ez".

There are a variety of Mexicans, like there are a variety of Americans and other nationalities. Yes, many are mestizo, but there are some that are White and of other races as well.

Also, not all Hispanics in the Chicago area are Mexicans. There are other Hidpanics from Central America, which also has variety and from places like Cuba, Puerto Rico and South America too.

I don't remember the title of this thread being "Why Racial Minorites are bad".

I agree, Olympia Fields and Flossmoor is very nice they have some if the most beautiful homes. But the taxes are VERY high. Orland Park is a great area to live in and the development is growing everyday day. They have excellent Schools. Tinley Park is nice but they are still stuck as far as racism if you are african american, hispanic, native american, chinese etc... Its totally out of the question you wanna be a business owner. Thats one racist town.

That seems to be the implicit subtitle on every thread.

I guess thats why just about everywhere I go around Tinley just about all I see is african americans shopping, working out (LA Fitness), working, you know out and about. They must be terrified to be in such a racist town, must be why they're everywhere here.
