upscale and diverse (garden, racism, ethnic)

[houston-nomad]

So, to whomever sent me a private message calling me an overweight man-hater, I guess because I pointed out that racism still exists in the US, all I can say is, huh? Oh, and this is an anonymous board, so you can actually post your stupid insults right here! Nobody will know it's you! Troll away. Don't hide your clever repartee in a private message.

If you prefer to live in a community with just one race there is nothing wrong with that but you don't have to get upset when someone seeks out a community with many races. You don't have to be PC to understand that.

Nope, it's PC garbage.

It wasn't me. As a matter of fact, just two days ago, I reported a message to the mods written by user New Horizons. I then sent that user a PM saying that I reported him/her and why. I've also criticized many people on here via PM when I felt it was something that shouldn't be added to a thread. If I'm going to say something to you outside the thread, it will be by PM. I get plenty of those anonymous messages, but I don't send them. You should contact the mods because that is fraudulently using the system, and they can see who did it.

I could search the posts where I HAVE SAID that I would help them find that place for them
Why?
They will be happy and I will be happy far away from them

Everybody is happy

I'm always a bit confused when I see this.

Is that you want to tell other people that you live in a neighborhood with ___________ people, so you don't feel racist?

Is it that you only walk to restaurants and feel the more diverse the neighborhood the more types of restaurants will be in walking range?

Is it that you only socialize strictly with neighbors and have a quota of the different ethnicities you want to befriend?

Thanks for ****ting all over this thread. For someone who is reporting users you seem to not know the forum rules yourself. Go back and read the question. Not interested in how you feel about diversity.

I don't see anybody whining when somebody says that they moved to Texas because is a conservative state.
Seems dumb to me, but if that makes them happy, go right ahead.

If there's anything I detest more, it's when some people result to insulting others just to prove their point. That in turn does not add anything positive to the discussion.

And by the way, yes, people are people. Maybe "too" simple for some vs. others.

Wow, calm down OP. Where this came from? People are exchanging their ideas and thoughts here, we don't have to agree with each other, but we don't insult or attack each other.
And btw- I don't know why you referring to Nazi Germany in diversity post reaction. That's not necessary and off topic.

Relax OP and good luck with your move.:-)
