I don't consider either of them racist.

Racism is the belief that one race is genetically superior to another. Prejudice is something entirely different.

You may not but I can guarantee you that if I said I'd rather live in Boston because Philly has too many black ghetto's, I'd be labled a racists by other posters.

NY'ers complaining about crime? You guys are getting really, really soft. The one thing I always like about living in Philly not many out of towners. But jokes aside I think Philly is a better city if your Black American cultural speaking, imo. Did someone mention Pats(yuck)?? Don't me laugh, or gag for that matter...

Then you really don't know Philly well at all. I can at least 10 places better than Pats. All my Philly people know the real deal.
