What I do have a problem with is when people take actions to PREVENT someone unlike them from moving into "their" neighborhood/town or after said person moves in, threats, actions, and harassment is used to attempt to drive them out. The vast majority of the time, this is why minorities are asking questions such as "is there a significant _____ population?" because they want to at least have a general idea of the acceptance of an area. There are outliers because there are some places with large minority populations that are not really accepting at all and other areas with little minority population that are very welcoming. However, there are numerous cases of where a minority moves into a neighborhood and attempts are made to drive them out by Whites.

Person 1 asks: "Where do the people who look like ME live or are moving to? I WANT to live there."

Person 2 asks: "Where do the people who look like THEM live? or are moving to? I DO NOT want to live there."

There is a huge difference in those two questions and if you do not see that, then there is nothing else to discuss.
Prevents from moving into their neighborhood? Harassment if they do move in? Is this 1952?

I’ve never heard of any such incidents in all my life. People act like it happens but, you never really see it happen. Even Martinsville, which is supposedly one of the most racist towns in Indiana, I’ve never heard any proof of any racism that’s happened there in the last four decades.

That's because you live in a bubble. Chances are when it occurs you'll just ignore it or even worst attempt to justify it.

REP! And that is exactly why I did not even bother responding to that nonsense. You can provide all the proof in the world, and apologists for racism will try to discredit something because the source was in APA format and not MLA...smh
