Nation of Cowards

New article about the 10 best places to raise your kids, a very talented individual created this chart showing the racial breakdowns of these cities, see if you can find the common denominator…

They write…

There’s no way to prove it, of course, but I’d say they desperately wanted to include as much diversity as they could in this list. But lookie, lookie — when it comes to finding a good place to raise your kids, 8 out of the 10 have a moderate to extreme white majority. The only 2 they could find to force onto the list to “prove” that diversity is good were #2 Arcadia, CA (where White and Asians are roughly equal), and Honolulu (Asian majority).

Another interesting note is regarding the foreign-born population. The highest are 44% (Arcadia), 25% (Honolulu), 20% (Quincy) and 18% (Beaverton) — the rest range from 4%-7% — and 3 of those 4 with higher numbers have, you guessed it, top-2 populations of Whites & Asians.

Wow, who knew Yahoo Real Estate was so racist?

Then again by that standard reality itself is racist.
