maybe in the UK, where asians refer to people of indian, pakistanian, bangladeshian descent. in the US, asians refer to east asians.

Lord have mercy.

Most people in this country get along just fine.

Except as$holes. They'll never get along with anyone.

The problem is white people. But not in the way you think White liberal young women doing two things: yelling at other white people that they are racist and must accept and bow down and read these books and be quiet except when you're an ally except when you're not supposed to be ... phew. Lots of rules. And then liberal white women pretending that their the great white hope and they need to save all the black people in this country and some how they've been the only ones ordained to do so.

Basically everyone in this country gets along with everyone else.

Except: as$holes who don't get a long with anyone.

And young white liberal women who don't get along with any other white people.

Are you a conservative? If so, you'd have no problem. If you are a liberal who wants to tell others how to think, that would be a problem. My wife is a person of color and more anti-BLM then I am. We also have two black nurses from Ghana that have come on staff at the local hospital and left other larger cities with all the associated BLM craziness. They don't want any part of the BLM movement.

I will let you live there then. I used to be a proponent of radical desegregation. Then came the BLM movement. Now I think its time to move out and let them deal with the consequences of their ideas.

I live in Los Angeles and everyone regardless of their skin colors get along just fine. No race war here. The average person here just wants to go to work, go home to see their family
, and gets on with their life.

The problems here is the MSM gives their platform to the most loudest and vocal extreme far left.

Very glad to hear that. I'm a person of color but not of African descent. I'm Indian but not the kind you think of in North Dakota. Educated immigrants from Africa are often more culturally similar to Asians in the sense that they value education, hard work, and strong family values.

We have an Indian (from India) doctor on staff. He likes rural ND and doesn't have an interest in living anywhere else. Doesn't even want to move to the larger cities in the state. Says the people are very warm and friendly.

I have always lived in the suburbs of big cities (early years in Pittsburgh, PA, then we moved to the L.A. area when I was 10, went to college in Berkeley, and working as an engineer in the Silicon Valley since graduation). I work a job that can entirely be done from home so I've thought about relocating to a cheaper, more rural area as I'm culturally more upper class white (the recent Indian immigrants here in Silicon Valley can be very insular and stick to their own kind). I was thinking of Boise, Idaho or Spokanne, WA as I still want mid size city amenities.

Judging from the zillions of posts you make on the topic here, you're obsessed with your own skin color. I'm sure that makes other people uncomfortable around you. If you'd relax and quit worrying about it so much you'd fit in better.
