>as an individual and terms of your racial group.
I have a multi-racial family so, yes.
>second Q, since many of the posters in here seem to be >upwardly mobile people of color, do you live in a neighborhood >with your own racial group or are you the brown face in the >white area?
There aren't a lot of black people in my neighborhood, BUT it borders a predominantly Black neighborhood so I see black people all the time. My daughter is in a black dance school. I walk 4 blocks to my black barbershop. Our neighborhood is actually 30% Asian. We walk my daughter to the Korean church where she takes Korean class on Saturdays. She plays with kids of all races at the playground
>third Q, when you are looking for a place to live apartment or >house, what do you value most in the area you are looking to >stay?
Walkability, amenities. There is nothing I need that I can't get on foot.
