Seriously what is the deal with California people? I don’t think about “racism” ever, is racism really that common in California that you know of areas where it’s not a problem? What is going on over there??

Well anyway I have no idea where you are working but that zip code is the west valley and generally more blue collar than the east valley, IMO California’s would prefer the west valley or central Phoenix but if your willing to drop the pretense and learn to enjoy a more working class and conservative are than 85043 could be great .

My Chinese co-workers in Silicon Valley insisted there is racism. Obviously I'm not sensitive to it because I'm not Chinese.

An example cited by one co-worker was that while he was trying to get some software up and running, the vendor rep sent him a password: "potsticker"

Hmmmmmm, first and only post from OP, hmmmmmmm.

I truly hope this California crap does not infect AZ, because that's why I am escaping California. How can Chinese workers in SV experience racism, when in many SV communities they are the majority, and speak around you in only their language ?

No, racism was not a thing ever discussed in California in the 80s and 90s, when all of us got along like friends, and then some angry progressive movement took hold, and the place is gone cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Then it became a self fulfilling prophecy where all the races started pointing fingers at each other.

Like I said in another thread, I get it if you Arizona natives don't want California kooks to come and mess up your fine state.

Just curious, but are you white?

Just curious, why does race matter ?

If you are moving to Glendale, head to Ronnie's for breakfast, an old haunt. Meet the community, young and old.

Its racism everywhere including Arizona...Id say look for the positive in that community and get to know the neighbors and enjoy life with those that are positive. Welcome to AZ!

Ugh. CA is the most backwards racist place ever but one place it does excel is hypocrisy.

Try to imagine that all you are fed from politicians and the media is how racist your neighbor to the southeast is because of how they enforce immigration. So if you're getting ready to move and you're anxious about the daily cross burnings on every corner and posses of white people on horses carrying "assault weapons" with "high capacity magazines". Sheriff Joe is rounding up all the brown people to throw them into concentration camps wearing pink jump suits.

I'm (kinda) being facetious here. We really do hear this type of rhetoric quite frequently. Ex. Moonbeam called AZ a "giant backdoor for terrorism". I apologize for turning this into a political issue, I'm sure the OP is a nice fellow just looking for relocation advice.

Background: I'm a malcontent Californian waiting to escape this hellhole.
