Neighborhood Klan meetings in Whitopia. What happens in Whitopia when a brown family moves in? Cross burnings?

How paranoid and bigoted do you have to be to believe that people who criticize Whitopia are anti-white?

What happens when a white person moves into prince george's county or SE D.C.? Nation of Islam rallies to get "the white devils" out?

Your comment reminds me of the 'Hipster' episode of "King of the Hill"

Peggy is a real estate agent trying to show a bored urban white man one whitebread neighborhood after another. He pooh-poohs each one as 'not real'. When she stops at an Hispanic acquaintance's house in a largely Hispanic neighborhood, the white hipster wants to buy there because the community is 'real'. Soon enough, the number of white hipsters moving in has changed the racial composition of the neighborhood, has altered community store, and has made what was once an affordable area unaffordable and white....

If people want to live with people like themselves -- racially, economically, socially, religiously, politically -- I see no problem with that. Why is it bad to have an area which is largely WASP, but acceptable to have an area which is mostly Chinese?

Like the POTUS, I'm mixed race: Hispanic and Caucasian. I live in a community where most of my neighbors have advanced degrees, work in education or medicine, and pull in 6 figures, and vote Democrat. There are white, black, Asian, middle eastern, Hispanic, and native American people here and we all share many things in common as well as similar values. People tend not to have issues with people of different races moving in. There are multiple mixed race families.

When someone (white, black, whatever) comes into a community with the explicit desire to make waves, what is the point in that? The folks on this board who gloat that white neighborhoods should be overrun -- what does that make you appear to be? There are plenty of places I would love to live, but can't afford. I aspire to work harder to live there, not conspire to see it ruined.

The non-white family is probably not shown available real estate in the Whitopia enclave.

Speaking only from a limited experience: my friend's son and his gf are whiter than Casper the Friendly Ghost. They are hipsters to the nth degree and sought out to live in some slum area in Brooklyn, because it wasn't white suburbia. They made a point of befriending non white people in an effort to look cool. They were sticking it to their parents, sticking it to the suburbs, hating on whitey. We were all bad because we lived in the suburbs while in the City, the disenfranchised minorities were keeping it real.

Turns out that when the gf became pregnant, white suburbia was looking pretty good as opposed to the slum turned hipster haven in Brooklyn. The non white friends? Haven't seen any of them around.

They did a fine job of fooling themselves into hating their race, until it became time to settle down.
