I think if you took the time to research, you would find scholarly discourse which does not support these intangible social-science constructs. I know I did.

By the way, all of that is way off topic. That is the easy way out. A catch-all. Could be applied to any city in America. You still have not proven how that especially pertains to Chicago. I ask again.

My other problem is the use of 'catch-all' phrases is strongly indicative of a mindset which is predisposed to look at the world through a pre-determined set of beliefs. If one is strongly imbued with that mindset, all of their observations and subsequent judgments will be twisted to fit the original belief system.

Thus, I don't believe a well-dressed black man in a suit and tie will be shunned or even looked down upon in some of the north side neighborhoods mentioned by the OP. I also believe that a white thug will not receive favorable treatment.

Oh wait, I almost forgot!!

If the white person voted for Obama it relieves them of all racist accusations.

"How can I be racist? I voted for Obama!"

At the same time, any white person that doesn't like Obama is automatically racist.

But.. George Bush doesn't like black people either. He's racist too, right? Or does he just not like New Orleans?

Are people now racist until thoroughly proven otherwise?

Yeah, racism obviously doesn't exist, and is never a factor in people's opinions.
