When that happened.

Your Getting a Diesel Light Rail line similar to NJT's RiverLINE from Waldorf to Suitland to meet up with the Metro Green line , and A Commuter Rail line from La Plata to Baltimore via Bowie.... Of Course this is 20 years away , Urbanized areas go first then Rural areas.

DC for example has Chinatown, but it's basically just a white tourist town with a whole bunch of Chinese characters written for the names of the stores there.

MoCo is loaded with Asians. I see hundreds of them everyday.

I'll comment on the OP at a later point in time, but for now: did these same people grow concerns over the Baltimore-Annapolis bike trail when it was built?

At some point Marylanders' need to stop being afraid of themselves.

Exactly.

There are still people who'd like to shut down the B-A Bike trail.

Rail was supposed to reach AA county 10 years sooner but it didn't, because, you know why. Meanwhile Linthicum is actively trying to have its station shut down, in response to a stabbing that occurred. While everyone assumed the perpetrator was from the city, it turned out he was not,

The "you know why", are you referring to the perception of inner city young black male crime taking the rails to the suburbs? Yes or No?

I thought it was obvious. Yes, that is the reference.

So then just come out and say it next time. You think it's prejudice for Suburban whites to keep inner city young blacks out? Say it, and make ppl attempt(poorly) to try and defend that kind of thinking.
