don’t listen- the pivotal difference is seeking out spaces with people of color and getting tf out of primarily white spaces

1

Hold on, why did your mind immediately go to low income housing for people of color when they said seek spaces for people of color. They meant like clubs and activities.

i wasn’t talking to you

Yeah but OP is talking about cali for school so assumption is they’d be living on campus not off campus housing and apartments. And #1 comment to OP had nothing to do with housing.

Dude I don’t think there’s a huge discernible difference no offense

Yes but let’s not forget we don’t know where in the Midwest OP is, and for example Chicago there’s a lot of prosperous black Neighborhoods

yeah wtf i’m actually so fried i said spaces with people of color and they said poverty 💀

100% maybe OP should move to spaces with no white people if that's her vibe. Cali probably isn't it though. Theres more white people there than the Midwest. (Source I unfortunately live here)

Idk if you are being sarcastic as if there aren’t but directly you have Roger’s park, Ravenswood, Uptown, Andersonville, Edgewater, Lincoln Park. Outside the city near Chicago heights, Beverly, Evergreen Park, Merrionette Park, certain areas of Maywood and Bellwood predominately black neighborhoods with home ownership. Don’t listen to the 24hr news cycle.

Yo im not supporting #5 but like most of these places are not black in Chicago; you deadass listed Lincoln Park

Anonymous #7 1d

Oh you want like pilsen, Bridgeport, englewood, Hyde park. Living in Lincoln Park, I live next to mostly black people that might be anecdotal but I do. Also the outside neighborhoods I gave are mostly black.

I just looked this up cause I thought I had to be confused for a second: It’s genuinely 2-3% black with an average income of $113,00. I think you need to really explore our city and get outside of your bubble

Dumb question #7 but does Chicago have transit like New York? Like subways and stuff rather than just buses

Anonymous #5 1d

Yeah but it’s mostly elevated trains that’s why they call it the L

Well good thing I have, I most of my time traveling for health care in Bellwood and Maywood, Beverly etc. I’ve been fucking boots on the ground home healthcare, I know it’s predominantly black.

Yes I said I live near mostly black people in Lincoln although anecdotal it’s my experience. I also hail from a not rich city in Illinois who wants to admit they are from Joliet. But you be easy tho.

You said you live near RICH black people in a RICH neighborhood. I don’t know a single mf growing up who would care more if I was from mf Uganda than if I was living in Lincoln. Idgaf you “hail from a not rich city” you have money that’s fine but don’t act you’re something you’re not

You don’t have to be rich to live in that neighbor, I am not rich. Im finishing grad school at DePaul. There are affluent parts and average parts in every neighborhood. Someone having a high rise on the Mag Mile or River North is wealthy. Frankly owning a home in the city is rich albeit stupid to me because I’d be damned if I didn’t have a backyard and that’s the case for most neighborhoods.

DePaul? Depaul is a private school that's WAY more expensive than my previous (VERY expensive Ivy like school)

I mean kinda? Like it's clear you're being supported or at least living and going to school in a place I could literally never afford. Unless we are the same income and you are just going to a fancy school in a expensive area for some reason and going broke

What do you mean white is the standard? Where? White people are the minority globally, mixed girls are the STANDARD across the world. Or are you disagreeing with my assessment of California??
