You're wrong, as usual. Delaware County for example is only like 75% white as of last census a decade ago. That's the entire county.

Upper Darby township is probably close to majority minority now, and many places around the county are getting more diverse. The "low class" people you dislike so much are moving en masse into places like your hometown as well. I'd say large swaths of Delco will become more and more diverse over this next decade due to the very unimpressive suburban housing stock in many parts of the county. If so many of my peers didn't move into the city, they'd probably already be living in places like your hometown the way their parents moved into places like Springfield 10-15 years ago.

MarketStEl as usual offered the most accurate info.

What's the point of bumping up a four year old thread only to bring up where another poster is from? It'd be one thing to disagree with cpomp, it is another thing entirely to bring up the demographics of where he is from (do you know his hometown?) and make assumptions like "'...low class' people you dislike so much..."
