Very few times it is brought up by the MSM/Left it actually constitutes racism.
Who gets to define what racism is ?

I suppose if an issue comes up that you believe involves racism...put it on the table. I'll do likewise. I suspect we will disagree on the overwhelming majority of cases when it comes time to classify.

The MSM/Left have a very low batting average using this technique.

Pacific Beach is 84% white.

And it's the 46th most "diverse" neighborhood in San Diego. There are 48 neighborhoods.

You did a terrible job of picking a localized area for diversity.

Tell me what it is where I work in San Marcos and Oceanside. I can tell you what it is for the population that I teach.

One of those "I can work among them but not live next door to them" liberals?

Ha ha... reminds of me of apartment hunting in Arlington, VA with a girlfriend long ago. She told the building manager "we want to live in a diverse area" and I chimed in agreeing. The term didn't exist yet, but instantly realized that I was I lying virtue signaller. The only thing that really mattered, even more than the price of the apartment, was that the building not be in a high crime, majority black neighborhood.

If they can educate me on it...I'll be more than happy to learn. I think it's made up though.
So basically what you're saying is that you're okay with an entire region or state encouraging white people to move ther, but not minorities?

What mattered to me the most was being as close to the Pacific Ocean as possible. I bought a house in Spring Valley and lived in El Cajon. Crime rates don't scare me - - 105 degree temperatures do.

Where did you get that from?

I'm saying that people who value high quality of life benchmarks (good schools, low crime, infrastructure, good medical, reasonable COL, community involvement) don't say "send us (insert racial group)".

They say "send us folks who share these values regardless of race".

Unless you believe these traits can only be attained thru having a racially diverse population I don't know how this doesn't make sense.

If that's the case you're not only wrong you're absolutely insane.
