@Hakujin - CA Birmingham

2018-11-11 05:27:05 UTC  

Gross! Why?

2018-11-11 05:27:13 UTC  

Very! Scholarship gibs

2018-11-11 05:27:24 UTC  

I got into Vanderbilt but it was $$$$$$$$$$$

2018-11-11 05:27:51 UTC  

I will say, if I hadn't moved here, I probably wouldn't be in IE

2018-11-11 05:27:58 UTC  

So everything happens for a reason

2018-11-11 05:28:13 UTC  

@Jacob My grandparents learned english extremely fast and were already fairly fluent before they came to America

2018-11-11 05:28:18 UTC  

There really is nothing more eye opening than the culture shock of living around “diverse” communities.

2018-11-11 05:28:39 UTC  

I can actually survive in Birmingham because of how strongly ethnically segregated this place is

2018-11-11 05:29:05 UTC  

I wouldn't be in IE without growing up in Southern California. Becoming more of a Mexican state everyday.

2018-11-11 05:29:34 UTC  

I’ve lived in mostly black areas before, but I live in a white but struggling area now.

It’s funny how I can live in one of the poorest parts of the country with little to no violent crime.

2018-11-11 05:30:05 UTC  

@Hector really makes you think

2018-11-11 05:30:07 UTC  

@Hector I grew up in a mostly black area too.

2018-11-11 05:30:17 UTC  

This county contains the poorest and richest zipcodes in the state

2018-11-11 05:30:24 UTC  

You can drive from one to the other in 15 minutes

2018-11-11 05:30:35 UTC  

If I didn't grow up around immigrants I probably wouldn't be in IE

2018-11-11 05:30:53 UTC  

If Europeans have issues here, have fun trying to assimilate non-Europeans

2018-11-11 05:31:28 UTC  

Exactly.

2018-11-11 05:31:38 UTC  

It’s terrible going back to my childhood home and seeing it covered in graffiti that’s almost 100% put there by blacks.

2018-11-11 05:31:51 UTC  

Like I said to my father who called me a radical, he got to grow up in a 99% white area, while I was forced to go to a school system with 30 percent illegal immigrants.

2018-11-11 05:32:07 UTC  

He has no right to spit on me while I try to change my world.

2018-11-11 05:32:08 UTC  

There actually are initiatives to diversify Appalachia now, by the way. Ones that even most of us here probably haven’t heard of.

2018-11-11 05:32:31 UTC  

There's already the initiative to diversify New Hampshire, it's actually really funny

2018-11-11 05:32:33 UTC  

Basketball is huge in this state, and every tiny little school is importing blacks from the inner cities in to play ball for their schools.

2018-11-11 05:32:45 UTC  

sportsballcapitalism : (

2018-11-11 05:32:52 UTC  

I saw a thing that gave the best and worst parts about each state, for new hampshire it was "very low crime" and worst was "diversity"

2018-11-11 05:32:56 UTC  

Lotta implications here!

2018-11-11 05:33:04 UTC  

So you’ll have 100% white schools of like a couple hundred students in total, and you’ll add a dozen black athletes into the school,

2018-11-11 05:33:10 UTC  

Oy vey! They've gawt the worst diversity!

2018-11-11 05:33:19 UTC  

Woist*

2018-11-11 05:33:36 UTC  

I'll have you speaking Yiddish yet

That is me roleplaying as a bad person, please don't think I am saying that to us.

2018-11-11 05:34:42 UTC  

My parents grew up in an over 99% white country.

Here’s a documentary about all of the evil white racists these troubled black teens have to deal with in KY.

2018-11-11 05:35:21 UTC  

"Given the city’s historic significance in the civil rights movement, it is especially regrettable to see how how segregated the city is today. Over half of the city’s 1.1 million residents live a racially homogeneous neighborhood that shares the same race as them. As is the case across the country, the city’s black population is far more likely to be poor, and far less likely to be employed and well educated, compared to the city’s white population. Less than 1% of the metro area’s white residents both live in poverty and live in neighborhoods where a large share of the population is also poor, compared to more than 15% of Birmingham’s black residents."

WOW REALLY MAKES YOU THINK
