Example, I live in a neighborhood where the only time you see a 'White' person are the teachers who commute in for work and maybe the odd cop as well as the occasional utility worker. From my experience people who bang on about living in a 'diverse community' nearly always live amongst there own. Pro USA & Israel

That may well apply re parts of many big cities in the USA, and there may be a point about the extent of widespread latent and not so latent racism still prevailing in a country with the USA's recent history, especially given your reference to people generally without reference to people's more specific cultural background other than colour of skin (ie US born/raised or immigrants).
