If I would have no problem living in a town that is predominently Indian or Oriental, yet choose not to live in a town that is predominetly black or hispanic based upon crime rates, education, and similiar values why according to a liberal does that make me racist?

What liberal says where you live makes you racist?

I think you secretly feel racist so you assume everyone thinks you are. In reality, nobody gives a damn.

I don't like the smell of Indian spices so I'll pass on Indian neighborhoods.

you are making a strawman argument. There is nothing wrong with living in an area that is predominately white area if the reason is, the area is safe. Its wrong if you want to live in a predominately white aree because you want to keep your distance from blacks.

Live where ever you want, but you can't control who buys the house next door.

I dont know of any whites that live in a "white town" just because they want to stay away from blacks. Anybody that lives in a white town lives there 1. Like others they feel comfortable around their own kind 2. They desire safety for their children 3. They desire good schools. Its that simple..

Do what you want. Threads on this same topic have been started over and over again. Each time, it turns into a black/hispanic bashing fest where people attempt to justify their racism with crime stats. I don't care where you live, but I wonder what your intent is with this thread.

There are many Jewish people in the town I grew up in who would disagree with that statement. A black family wanted to move into a predominently Jewish town On long island and behind the scenes four Jewish people with power made sure it didnt happen. They didnt want their property value hurt

I just take the attitude of not giving a damn what anyone thinks about where I choose to live and associate with.

Honestly, my best guest is, you are probably a racist and you are just trying to justify why you dont want to live around blacks. You have the right to live where you want, and we have the right to our opinions about your motivations.
