And I don't necessarily mean white flight. You see black flight in some places too. A lot of asian and hispanic movement seems to changing certain places at a pretty rapid pace.
They're already [fill in the blank not sure what you're going for]
Hispanic is an ethnicity not a race and Hispanics are increasingly identifying as White. The government only made it a race to manipulate the votes for Democrats.
Meanwhile. it's irrelevent because every state will be turning purple or blue and every "metro" will be MORE Blue.
I owned a Philly pet store in 1993 and had to order a ton of Betta Fish for the Vietnamese on Friday nights.
Ya'lls generation didn't invent "diversity" or metros.

Also, if we are using how large Boston's Black population is to try to say it's some type of racial utopia these days, a very large chunk of Boston's Black population is FOREIGN (lots of Haitians, Trinis, Jamaicans, Cape Verdeans, Brazilians, Dominicans, etc.) That makes a huge difference if we are going to talk about race and race relations, and should not be glossed over, overlooked, or skewed to just say, "Hey, but look how many BLACK people we have!!!"
Is there less racism or no racism directed at a Black person who is 2nd generation Haitian or Jamaican than a Black American? How do people determine who is who from the stands of the TD Garden or walking down the street?
I hear this about less crime in black immigrant areas, or perhaps less slavery baggage (doesn't totally make sense as every ethnicity you listed here was enslaved, for longer than in the US)
If so tho.. Isn't that about culture then- not race?
IDK maybe this is more 'gymnastics'. But when folks run from a conversation you don't get answers to these questions. And thats too bad.

Don't worry. Don't even try to keep up.
EVERYBODY is being accused by wokesters for being racists.
Just watched some dumbazz academic "professor" yesterday ranting that Jamaicans have to come to terms with being AFRICAN and stop denying their blood because "Carribean" doesn't mean anything blah blah blah.
I just eyeroll in hysteria. And of course your first clue would be "academic" haha.

I guess so. in my head I'm like since when did white people stop being racist to black people outside the USA? Didn't their president call Haiti in particular a "ish hole" country on national TV?
Only regarding Boston could welcoming Black people from around the world be used as evidence of anti-black racism.
yeah whatever. Figures don't lie but liars can figure.
Why do you think they ask "Non Hispanic White".
It's still TRUE that it's an ethnicity not a race and only for 1970 political purposes. I really don't care enough to argue about it. Where's my Greek street signs??
The Invention of Hispanics: What It Says About the Politics of Race
I may be remembering the previous surveys before the current MESS which has brought in easily 10 million since then. OH SNAP they changed the measurements. Well yes. Of course they did. hahahaha
Improved Race and Ethnicity Measures Reveal U.S. Population Is Much More Multiracial
Large share of Latinos don't identify with current race categories, Census Bureau numbers show
The Census Bureau said a combined 43.6% of Americans who self-identify as Hispanics either reported being of “Some Other Race” (35.5%) or did not respond to the race question in the 2020 count (8.1%).
