Living in a bad neighborhood has changed my views on minorities

My gf and I were both living off our savings while looking for a rental, which opened us up to living in areas we might not have otherwise considered. We found a massive, beautiful, recently remodeled townhouse well within our budget and half a mile from the office I had just gotten hired at.

We had both mostly lived in middle-class suburbs before. The week we moved in, there was a murder at the gas station located at the entrance of our neighborhood. This area was always "the bad part of town" in my mind and in the minds of my peers. When people asked where we lived, we named the interstate exit and never our street.

After two years, I've come to realize that I don't live in a bad neighborhood. It's just a not-mostly-white and low-income neighborhood. I have neighbors of every color and we all wave at each other, talk, laugh, and get along.

If I forget to take my trash out on trash day, my next door neighbor often does it for me. That shit never happened in the suburbs. There's a stray cat that has gained about 5 kitty pounds recently because me and both the houses next to me have been feeding the little shit. That's pretty cool and neighborly.


So, the prejudice I have overcome isn't color based like you might have assumed. It was class based. I no longer immediately equate low income with dangerous and ignorant.

This might be a little heavy for this sub, but I can't think of a better place to talk about this without it turning into a shit show. So, please, share your thoughts. I just renewed my lease another two years.

nice dude thank you for your anecdotal and completely statistically irrelevant story that doesn't have anything to do with reality

I've lived in Chicago for 20 years, niggers are the fucking issue. Hang every last fucking one one of them. We got a lot of fucking trees.

I live in a townhome in a lower-income part of town. Most of my neighbors are Hispanic or black.

It's far from a shithole neighborhood, and isn't the "bad part of town", and you're an idiot if you think there's no difference.

You're feeding a diseased mangy animal and encouraging it to spread its foul kitty seed to other mangy animals.

A "bad neighborhood" in Montana or something right?

I live in a major city in the Midwest and I've been living in poverty all my life. Bad neighborhoods smell like weed smoke and sound like gunshots. Your Windows get busted out if you leave anything in your car.

>>37580696
I was expecting you to tell how a bunch of niggers broke into your house and stole everything you had.
Fuck off with this propaganda, this shit literally never happens in nigger neighborhoods.

Well...

I grew up in a really terrible neighborhood. Full of drug dealing and gang violence and other nice things. The streets look like a bunch of dumpsters just exploded. I've seen dead bodies on the way to school.

My neighborhood is a primarily white neighborhood in southern europe. So. maybe it isn't color?

I dunno.

Maybe in USA. In other countries, in poor neighborhoods, the people don't smile or look at each other and making eye contact means fight. Neighbors throw trash in front of your house and poison your pet if they don't like it.

Slavs are honorary niggers. They don't count.

>>37580970
Not slavic. I'm from italy. Neighborhood was primarily white but it's still really "ghetto" and gross. Just like what you would see in a "black" neighborhood.

Nope, Naples.

People can live together just fine.
Just not muslims

But they're still white. And this neighborhood full of white people is pretty crappy.

Maybe that disproves the whole color thing. Maybe...

Italians?White? I live in NJ. Filled with tons of Italians, most look Mexican or possibly mix with flip

Wow a nice story for once, and of course /pol/ fags just choose not to believe it. I live in a low-income neighborhood too and there's no crime, and everyone mostly leaves each other alone. An old black couple lives across the street from us, and oddly enough after the garbage truck comes around they put ours and a few other neighbors garbage cans back.

Well, what do you guys consider white people, then?

Just americans? cause that'd be pretty funny...

You just admitted someone got murdered where you live.
Did a doctor shit up a coincidence store or was it some highschool dropout thug?

American and British whites are white people. Also, European countries that aren't Italy, Poland, or Russia are white.

Italians, Slavs, and most Australians are honorary niggers.
