Racism is alive and doing well

[burt]

Some of you may have noticed that I moved from Olathe KS. to Palm Beach FL. There are numerous differences, but the biggest one for me is the racism. It is rampant, and EVERYWHERE!

The black folk hate the whites. The whites hate the blacks. The Mexicans refuse to talk English. The Hatians hate everyone but Hatian.

The New York/Philly transplants are very vocal about their racism. I expected that. But Black children bullying and verbally abusing white children, just for being white? That one shocked me.

This alone has really tarnished my feelings about my move significantly.

I NEVER experienced this in the KC Metro. Was I blinded? Nieve? Are any of you experiencing racism?

of course not ALL ...

In my neck of the woods Asian/White couples represent the largest interracial marriage group by far. Lately there's been a lot of Mexican/White co-mingling as well, but Asian/White is solidly entrenched as a norm. We're mixing it up pretty good around here in the San Francisco Bay Area. My wife is Japanese American & she is hands-down my favorite person of all time. Interesting that there is a lot of Black/White co-mingling when they are young, but the relationships don't seem to endure as much as Asian/White or Mexican/White. Dunno why that is....

True, but in California the vast majority of folks that we call "Mexican" are South American Indians, not people genetically derived from white Spanish conquistadors.

"Native American populations exhibit almost exclusively five mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups (A-D and X). Haplogroups A-D are also frequent in Asia, suggesting a northeastern Asian origin of these lineages."
