How could someone quantify something so subjective and open to interpretation?

If I were looking for cities that were diversity friendly (as I would love to, since I'm in an interracial relationship), I would look at cities that are high in diversity with little comparative amounts of segregation.

There's no way to quantify how 'racist' a city is.

Dallas, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Rochester, NYC, Cincinnati, supposedly Chicago. There are quite a lot of them. LA/SD towards Hispanics.

I think thats what's wrong with America today we can't be honest without someway be politically correct. If I want information on different cities I have to say "diversity friendly" instead of not saying "racist" out of fear that someone will not respond or give honest answers out of fear of being some political football and you don't really get the impact needed to really realize how much we really need to strenthen change.

Many are in denial. Ive heard it said that since there is a Black president there is no more racism in America.

It's not about political correctness, it is about what is quantifiable and what is not. You can look up the demographics of a neighborhood. You can look up the demographics of individual neighborhoods in an attempt to quantify how segregated a city is. How can you look up the attitudes of a people?
