The answer to the eternal question.

They group all white people as one monolithic group but refuse to group blacks or hispanics similarly.

Irvington, East Orange, Union City, Camden, etc. should be on the list as well

Another intentionally misleading original post.


Throw it out there, stand back and let the assumptions begin.

Camden is actually very diverse:

Who cares. Is there a problem with a town having little or no diversity? Is a diverse town somehow magically better than those with less diversity?

That doesn't look very diverse to me.

I don't see a problem with it.

That said, I definitely wouldn't want to raise my kids in those towns. Though I'd be more likely to consider living there if it was only myself, and I had a reason.

I'm Asian, but I wouldn't want to live in a place that's all Asian either.

That said, certain people have a smaller bubble for their life and that's cool. I respect that ... as long as they're not racist.

An all white town in NJ in 2019 is a lot different from all white town in NJ in 1979.

I don't think racism would be as rampant as when I was younger.

I'm pretty sure they did.

There just wasn't a town that had high enough of a % of latinos, for example, to make the cut.

There are such towns in Texas and California.

Diversity is now a positive indicator for school rankings, which actually ends up hurting some top tier towns in our state if people are using Zillow & Great Schools rankings to search for a home.
