Actually instead of this lecture, how about one in which it is explained how my growing up experience was unhealthy for me, and how this must surely manifest at present.

So far as Oaxaca goes, Mestizo is the predominant ethnicity by FAR. There are a few full blooded natives (of pre-Colombian lineage) in the hills and villages, one of which I tried to converse with in Spanish. The cultural milieu of the area is solid Mexican. There is no huge clamoring for "multiculturalism" in Oaxaca by unhappy groups -- theoretically unhappy with Mexican culture, and wanting more Euro-Mexicanism for example, or more Afro-Mexicanism. Thankfully "multiculturalism" hasn't addled brains too much down there.
The answer to why West Meade was all white is very simple, and your reaction to the issues of multiculturalism and diversity are a partial answer to your other question.

I'm not into lecturing. I prefer people figure things out on their own. Notice my brief posts, as opposed to your lengthier ones.

[SIZE=3]I find it fascinating how people attack and question what they don’t understand. I would encourage anyone that wonders why I entered this posting to move into an African American community, Pimpy recommended East St. Louis or Compton. Again thank you to everyone that has helped me to identify some communities where we will be comfortable.[/SIZE]
