Question Traffic/Racism
I'm considering moving to the Twin Cities and I heard that Eden Prairie is a very nice place to live. My own research agrees with that assessment. But I'm concerned about two things: traffic and racism. Being a minority, I'm very concerned about racism. Anybody who can help me on both fronts?

Define racism. I've lived in EP and never thought racism was an issue there. However, I'm not a minority and have never been in your shoes. Can you provide some examples of what would be an issue to you?

Re: traffic, it can be bad to/from EP, depending on where you want to go. If you commute by car to another southern or western suburb, probably not too bad. Otherwise, may be worse than you are used to.

On the traffic topic, there are really three parts of EP. South of Hwy 5, North of 5, and the 494 "triangle" where all of the businesses are. I'd say that traffic if you live north of 5 is average, south of 5 is worse, and that triangle area can be nasty.

Some issues that may bother me include a history of complaints of racial profiling by police, a history of racial hostility in town and/or town's schools, and a history of the community generally not accepting or welcoming minorities.

Sounds like someone's trolling.

Eden Prairie is a highly educated community with many professional level people living there. You won't experience any issues there nor will you in most of Minnesota.
