You said folks won't care about the pigmentation in your skin. I said, yes, but people are intolerant of other cultures. And then I gave a hypothetical example.

What part of my post didn't you understand? I'm always willing to elaborate.

So what is your evidence that this is a common problem in any of the areas mentioned?

Well, it's not a common problem in any of the areas mentioned. Overwhelmingly white areas tend to have very few problems with racial tension. Here's some evidence of intolerance of Hispanics among white Americans though:

So then why even bring it up except to stir the race pot once again?

I have a headache now. Your premise was flawed as I already explained. The OP asked a question pertaining to race and I gave an answer that included the issue of race. Do you want me to summarize this thread or something? And did you not understand my second post? Let me complete the sentence... Overwhelmingly white areas have few issues with racial tensions BUT this can quickly change as soon as a few minorities move in. Hence, my post. Not hard to understand. The only person that's stirring the pot is you. Why so defensive? It's like if I simply said "you're white," your face might turn from yellow to red. I can talk about race because I'm secure and I have nothing to hide. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Go create a thread about daffodils and I'll particate in a thread about real world issues like race.

Race is about become a reality if the OP choosed to move into an all-white block in a town infamous for being an enclave for the bourgeoisie.

Oh. I'm sure the OP who is married to a minority had no idea about race issues in the abstract. You've done a marvelous service filling her in.

Are you trying to imply that I have a big ego or something?

I'm sure the OP understands racial issues. This thread is asking about where a good place for an affluent Hispanic family would be.. If the OP didn't understand racial issues, she wouldn't have included "Hispanic" in the question.

My headache has worsened. This is like if I were to suggest buying a blue car and you asked me what my problem with buying a Ford is.

Interestingly Oak Park has actually has a rather low percentage of hispanics compared to other parts of the Chicago suburbs ( I think only about 5 %). However, the town is about 1/3 African American.

The OP will not have a problem in any of the suburbs. For crying out loud.

Get real.

A lot of people still have this self-serving fantasy that half the world is still like Bridgeport in 1972.

No offense to the OP but I'm somewhat surprised you even have to ask this question. You say you are considering moving to Evanston? Have you ever been to Evanston? That would be a good start. Did you get big scary white vibes there?

Wheaton is racist.
