Keep in mind the ridiculous question of this thread is "Is Orange County the most (self) segregated county in California". So do you care to answer that question? The data can be easily found in the link to the NYTimes I provided above.

Try Santa Ana.

Go to LA and then drag the map to Santa Ana.

So what? How does the fact that Santa exists support the claim that Orange County is the most segregated county in California? I can show you many areas of Santa Ana that are very integrated. I don't think you understand what a segregated city actually looks like. Go look at something like Milwaukee or Chicago in that NYTimes map.

Oh, I do not necessarily agree that OC is the worst. My point is simply that self segregation is the norm now. People move to cities and neighborhoods in the cities that are populated by a high percentage of their ethnicity. LA city is very much so. Only certain cities in OC are this way.

Self segregation has been the norm for hundreds of years in the US. When a new immigrant group arrives they go to the area where they know other people, with similar religions, foods, language, etc. Just look at the historical areas in cities like Chinatowns, Little Italy, Japantown, Little Havana, etc. As these immigrants begin to assimilate that is when integration begins to occur. So if anything, segregation is continuing to decrease over time.

I agree, it is the norm. Segregation is voluntary and CA, including OC, has not changed in any way. It claims to be diverse and isn't. Over time it should change, but has it? How many Irish now look for an Irish neighborhood. How many Japanese look for a Japanese neighborhood? How many Hispanic look for Hispanic neighborhood. Except for the Irish, the others generally do.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical.

Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my ******.

There really is nothing like a shorn *********... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

I think most people look for a decent house in the best neighborhood they can afford, I'm not sure that very many people actively seek out specific ethnic neighborhoods.

The United States is an Anglophone country with all that that entails. Ask international visitors who’ve been to the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada if there are not numerous cultural similarities not least the langauge, music, cultural practices, humor, foods. Nevermind the shared history, common law, and cross influences. Just stop, you are looking ridiculous. Yes, whites in the United States have a culture and it is constantly attacked by others or used as a benchmark against which subcultures seek to showcase their own differences.


You also adopt this ridiculous language from sophomoric college students: "whiteness". Absurd.

People of all races and ethnicities speak English in those countries, therefore speaking English is not a unique element of 'white culture'. Now, let's get back on track, please name some elements of "white culture" because your claim that English is one is an epic fail.
