I had a really light skinned black girl call *herself* that. "I'm a high yella, I'm light skinned!"

The more intimate the setting, the greater the challenges of diversity. Adopted
children, for example, often report they never felt they fit in. In a British study of
adults who were adopted as children, 46 percent of whites adopted by whites
said they felt a sense of not belonging. For non-whites adopted by whites, the
figure rose to close to 75 percent. Researchers reported that their constant refrain
was, “Love is not enough.”53
There can be worse: The authors of a 2005 study on domestic violence in the
United States reached the sobering conclusion that “the incidence of spousal
homicide is 7.7 times higher in interracial marriages compared to intraracial
marriages.”54
One study for the period 1979 to 1981 found that white men who married
black women were 21.4 times more likely to be killed by their spouses than
white men who married white women. A white woman increased her risk of
being killed 12.4 times by marrying a black man. Marrying a white did not
appreciably change a black person’s risk of being killed by his or her spouse.

Here's an example of one of the maps that overlays crimes on 'em. No statement from me on whether this is accurate and any good for your particular purposes.

During Barack Obama’s campaign for President, Duke University sociologist
Eduardo Bonilla-Silva asked the white students in his class to raise their hands if
they had a black friend on campus. All did so. At the time, blacks were about 10
percent of the student body, so for every white to have a black friend, every
black must have had an average of eight or nine white friends. However, when
Prof. Bonilla-Silva asked the blacks in the class if they had white friends none
raised his hand.130 One hesitates to say the whites were lying, but there would be
deep disapproval of any who admitted to having no black friends, whereas there
was no pressure on blacks to claim they had white friends.

Oh look the rich neighborhoods have the least crime...

2018-02-20 02:01:11 UTC  

Hey, I live in the most expensive neighborhood in my municipality! What a shock that it's got the lowest crime.

What, then, are the advantages of diversity that not only compensate for
agonizing conflicts but justify considering it America’s “greatest strength?” If
readers cannot immediately think of any besides ethnic restaurants, they are not
alone. A 2007 study by the University of Minnesota found that Americans claim
to be positive and even optimistic about the word “diversity” but are unable to
explain its value or give examples of its benefits. The researchers found that
even people who work in the field of race relations stumble when asked to list its
benefits.

2018-02-20 02:03:06 UTC  

can't give examples of benefits. surprise!

2018-02-20 02:04:56 UTC  

Sorry my bad

The push for diversity can lead to absurd results. Bone marrow donations
almost never work unless donor and recipient are the same race, so non-white
patients suffer because almost all the people who register as donors are white. In
2008, the National Marrow Donor Program announced that all marrow registries
would be required to meet quotas for minority donors. Officials at St. Luke’s
Mountain States Tumor Institute in Boise, Idaho said they would have to shut
down their donor registry because the demographics of the region made it
impossible to find more than a handful of non-white donors.

Contact often has the effect of hardening hostilities, not dissolving barriers.
This effect is common in politics. When Jesse Jackson was running for the
presidential nomination of the Democratic Party, his percentage of the white vote
was consistently highest in those states with the fewest blacks. Whites with the
most actual contact with blacks were least likely to vote for him. The same was
true in 2008 during Barack Obama’s Democratic primary campaigns. He won
the highest percentages of the white vote in states such as Iowa, which has few
blacks, and the lowest percentages in states with large black populations.
Bernard N. Grofman of the University of California, Irvine has found a reliable
political correlation: As the number of blacks rises, more whites vote
Republican187—and the less likely they are to vote for black candidates.
