Sorry to tell you this, but strictly-WASP enclaves are a declining phenomenon. Thankfully, so are people like you.

Your response not only didn't assist the original poster in any way, but you had to throw in an irrelevant "phenomenon", as well as a snide insult. Good job. What a class act.

Here's the thing, I think helping out someone find a lily-white neighborhood so they can stay away from the big bad other races or religions is not high priority. In fact, if someone actualy asked that to my face, I'd probably scream w/laughter & then direct them to the nearest "scary place". It's what racists deserve. If that's harsh, so be it, but like I said before I don't take kindly to racism & I think others on here feel the same way.

I'll reserve class-act treatment for those who deserve it, thankyouverymuch.

People didn't lock their doors and there was trust between people. It was a different world from now, I know. If you ever get a chance see the documentary 'Remembering Chicago' that is played on WTTW television once or twice a year. In that documentary people that grew up during the 1920s and 1930s are interviewed and they tell it like it was. One thing that stands out in my mind is a lady said that on a hot summer night she could go down to the nearest park in her pajamas with a pillow and blanket and sleep in the park without one thought that someone might do her harm. That was in the city of chicago and a 15 girl could do that in any park in any part of the city. My point is every city was that safe and clean including Milwaukee. I'm sure that people slept on the beaches on summer nights in Milwaukee without even a thought that someone might do them harm. And no one locked their doors because no one was just going to walk into your house or apartment and steal something. And if you had a car you could leave the keys in the ignition over night without even a single worry that someone might steal it. Now how does all this relate to the fact that I would like to live amongst my own European American people? Back in those safe days all communities were enthnic and that is the first step in getting back to days when we won't have to worry so much about safety.

This would be hilarious if it weren't scary and sad. Yes, let's go back to the 20's! When no one but white males had any rights! And most women were forced to rely on men in order to support themselves and their children! Ahhh...that sounds idyllic...

No one has brought up the conundrum of how the OP knows who's Jewish. Does s/he have special Jew-dar? Is s/he like the little boy in "The Sixth Sense", except she sees Jewish people? What happens if s/he moves in and then a whole bunch of Jewish people move in AFTER him/her? AIIIEEEEE!!!

Relax people, to each his own. This is a perfectly normal & acceptable request we all want. Don't let nut jobs tell you that you HAVE to live in a diverse neighborhood & if you don't you should feel guilty.
So far we're still free Americans with the right to choose.
Here's a website to use to look up % of religions, & races of a town without having to come on here & get ridiculed.

You almost had me until you said "nutjobs". Personally, someone who is too frightened to encounter people of other races, religions, etc. on an everyday basis is a nutjob. To each his own.

I Love Jewish people and all people, why is this concept so hard for people to learn.

I'm still trying to figure out why the OP wants to sleep on a park bench in a park by herself. Maybe she's the one we should be afraid of!
