As a positive, he lists "one of the best elementary schools in Seattle (John Stanford) just a few blocks away."

As 1 of 2 negatives, he lists "everyone in Seattle appears to be white".

Consider the economic conditions of American cities in which Whites are a minority. Virtually all are economically depressed. Think Detroit, Newark, East St. Louis, East LA, Miami’s Little Haiti, South Dallas, etc.

Unfortunately, most white people would do anything to avoid being called a racist. This includes doing things that go against their group interests at all costs. Most white people are proud of themselves for "not noticing" race unless it's to point out whites behaving badly. I get so exasperated with the whole situation that I don’t know what to do.

I'm not sure what your point is. Is it to say that it takes minorities to create poverty?

Are you saying there aren't poor white communities in the US? What about around the world, like Eastern Europe, or even Greece?
