Don't confuse racism with segregation by choice. Not saying racism isn't alive and well, just that most people are more comfortable living among their own.
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles...racially-economically-integrate-neighborhoodsThe Department of Housing and Urban Development has proposed a new plan to change U.S. neighborhoods it says are racially imbalanced or are too tilted toward rich or poor, arguing the country's housing policies have not been effective at creating the kind of integrated communities the agency had hoped for.
But in these modern, progressive times, people aren't allowed to self-segregate; integration must be forced on the masses, like it or not.
Open racism in small towns in Arkansas is nothing compared to some of the openly racist posts on this message board.
I sometimes wonder if the majority of crappy members posting stuff like "why did I know the race of the person in that article before I clicked on it" know how many Black, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American shooters are members of OKshooters.com.
This subject comes up a lot when shooting and eating with some of our members who happen to be American supporters of the 2nd amendment and contributing members of OSA, but of a different race than "white". I personally think allowing racist comments on a message board like this one is beyond tacky and it's why I rarely post outside the gear or knife sections.
Seems like that sort of thing used to get called out.
