Cultural diversity in Moore, Oklahoma
I need some help. I am doing a research paper on the different races and ethnicities in Moore, Oklahoma. I need to know if people of other races or ethinc groups are treated differently than White people. If city officials treat people that are white verses people of a different "color". Also how do you think we could solve any inequalities within the Moore community. Any help is greatly apprecialted and all info will be kept in the strictest confidence. My paper is due Sunday, October 28.

Hopefully an area expert like Happytown will chime in on this once he gets back from vacation. I don't think city officials in Moore treat people of different ethnicities differently. First, it's a risky thing to do as an official policy, aside from it being plain wrong, and people in Moore/OkC are pretty decent folks. I have nothing but my opinion to back this up, however and I'm white.

I live in Moore now and graduated from Moore High School many years ago. I find this post both offensive and arrogant.

I stayed in Moore a short while in 2000 right after the tornado came through. There was never any hint of racism from the townfolk *I am Native American. I never dealt with city officials, so I can't comment on that.
I still have friends who live in Moore and have never heard them say anything about harrassment or whatever. Both my friends are long time residents and both are gay. So I would have to say Moore is a pretty good place to live.
Just keep one eye on the sky during spring time!
