Evanston is a very nice, liberal, laid-back community and has a substantial bi-racial community. It has the sophistication of OP with little of the attitude. You may want to look into Lake County, but it may be a bit far for commuting. Grayslake and Wildwood are very friendly, folksy, semi-rural communities with a quite diverse population.

Yeah, Evanston doesn't have the attitude. Interesting theory.

There really isn't much of a class difference (income gap) between blacks and whites living in south suburbs like Homewood, Flossmoor, Matteson and Olympia Fields..

Relative to other poor predominately black communities, I guess you can say Harvey is ''diverse''. As you know , I live here and Harvey does have an interesting Indian community going on. I say interesting because normally Asians/Middle Easterners open up convenient stores and fast food restuarants in poor predominately black areas. Its rare to see them actually walking around as residents in communities like Harvey. They add some diversity to Harvey, but
they are a tight knit community for the most part. But at least they let their children attend public school with the local black kids. Whittier elementary(close to where most of them live at)was as high as 7% Asian in 2007.

If anything, whites have slightly less money.
