perhaps you should stick to the facts as you have presented. you live in stafford county, VA. those numbers of race are way off. it's a majority white county. not to say that there is no diversity in your county, but those numbers are very inaccurate.

I walk and commute through the city all the time and I've never felt uncomfortable other than in areas where there's a lot of drug traffic. In the suburbs other than PG county, blacks & Hispanics are distinct minorities. In the District as you go neighborhood by neighborhood you see "minorities" in local majorities. My neighborhood is about 60% black and probably about 10% Hispanic & Asian.

I do understand that when the family income goes up you can lose your voucher. You should view it as success not an embarrassment. Some other more deserving family now has that apartment.
How old are you if I may? Reason I ask is because most people that spew this kind of "justified hate" are 55+ (no offense to the 55+ crowd). The thing that seems to be missed is that the younger generations are different, tolerant and will most likely have the tools to deal with today's dreaded diversity in the future.
again with the insults. guess there is nothing better to do in stafford county.

Is the point of the anti-diversity people that everyone should keep to their own kind? I think that's what gets wars going in many parts of the world, isn't it?... people banding together against or away from "the other" and resenting those who break the boundaries between the groups. Remember the riots and bombings back in the 60's (I don't, I wasn't born yet) over integration in Birmingham and other places? The terrorists back then had plenty of community pride in their homogenous neighborhoods, I'm sure.
Actually, the "anti-diversity" people might actually want the U.S. to remain a white country, as it should be. It's a part of who we are being changed forever. The sad part, you'd view such as hatred, but if a non-white country were being changed massively, you'd probably view such in a negative light.
True racism is passed down, but unless they live in some isolated community, the kids today will be better equipped to handle diversity.
First of all the internet is making younger generations more world conscious, playing online games with others from China, Spain and Pakistan was not really an option for past generations. Second, kids today even in suburban areas are being raised with different races in schools. In the past unless you lived in an urban area those chances were slim. Third, kids today are learning early what not to say to offend someone who may be different than they are.
In the past White people felt diversity was forced upon them, now I see kids who don't want to just be around their own kind anymore, and I think that will be the driving force in the future, they will actually think it is quite normal to be around diversity.
In America, isn't it too late to not want diversity? The resistance is a dead end road, we are already here.
"Racism" is inherent in most individuals. It's the group mentality of wanting to protect the group. It is natural and is good. I'm not talking about bigotry or hatred. A lack of racism results in a destroyed civilization, where a people group is replaced by the newcomers.
