My choices for the four most racially tolerant cities are:
1. Los Angeles
2. San Francisco
3. Sacramento
4. New York
It might surprise some folks people that L.A. was my top pick. I lived there for many years (am about to return) and while a city without race issues does not exist, Los Angeles, out of all of the cities I have lived in, is most tolerant of differences - regardless of what they are. Money is more important than race in L.A. Live there for some years and you'll see what I mean.
In addition, there are more ethnic groups represented in Los Angeles than any other city in the world. Consider that for a minute. In terms of diversity, L.A. even beats New York. I dated women of different races in L.A. and never had any problems. The girl I came close to marrying (we dated for four years) was white - also, no problems at all. If you are a clean-cut black man in L.A., you can go as far
you want to go in your chosen field. Is L.A. perfect in this regard? Absolutely not. But it was the best city I lived in with regard to race relations.
San Francisco is also not perfect, but I found people there to be very, very open-minded. The city has a reputation for being very liberal, and it certainly is. But S.F. could not be my top choice because I did not find there to be a high number of affluent blacks in the city.
What a lot of people do not know about Sacramento is that it is a very diverse city. Whites are really not so much of a majority there, as there are so many different ethnic groups living there, owing to the city's reasonable (at least by CA standards) cost of living. There are many, many mixed-race people in the city and it truly is a veritable melting pot.
New York is, of course, a very diverse city as well, but it is also very sectionalized. How many affluent minorites do you see in Manhattan? The city is very divided. I know that some will argue that L.A. is divided too, but there are many more affluent minorities in every part of L.A., while in NY, this is not the case.
Okay, I know that people will disagree...I welcome it and look forward to reading your responses.
being brown, i didn't feel all that secure...i felt like a 2nd class citizen and i'm not spanish, but i'm dark skinned. and orange county is like massachusetts by a cali beach.
LA & Miami are the worst cities to be "brown" or "black"

Los Angeles???? Blacks and Mexicans are getting shot simply for being their race and being on the wrong street, regardless if they are criminal gang bangers or just innocent civilians that happen to be passing by or minding their own business doing whatever.
i was accosted in Manhattan & CT for looking muslim. racial tolerence lol
i'm sure SF/Auston/Sac is just as bad.... actaully, i think the most open racist acts occurr in cities/metro areas with the biggest number
of minorities....London & Paris come to mind
Agreed starks. I do not think the bay area is really tolerant at all either. They love to pretend they are. But everyone fits into a nice neat category segregated from each other. Poor blacks stay in south east sf, oakland, or east palo alto, or stockton, mexicans in south hayward, fuitvale in Oakland, newark, east san jose.
Sacramento is true diverstiy, integration, and coexitance.
Look at these two high schools racial make up. You dont really find too many schools like this in the bay area or the country. Their Api is a 7 meaning they do better than AT LEAST 60 percent of the other high schools in Ca
