36. Good response
Can you see the danger of people reacting in "mob fashion" as they did here (not you) so quickly? That's dangerous...


You said: Ethnic "districts" do exist, of course, many right here in the US.

Me: yes, in a natural way, they already exist.


You: But as you move higher in the economic scale, those "districts" diminish.

Me: true


You: Following your argument, I believe, people would not be "allowed" to move to better neighborhoods (read: white) as they move up the economic scale. Thus, society becomes not only separate, but decidedly unequal.

Me: interesting point. This assumes that all better neighborhoods are "white" AND assumes that all these neighborhoods have chosen to create their "declared" district based community. I would doubt that either of these conditions would exist in any given city.


You: Next "logical" step in the argument: Where does my (ethnically mixed) child go to live?

Me: I don't envision this world being quite so polarized. I see the various communities existing... I see "free range" communities existing of all economic scales... I see many of the ethnically specific communities often accepting other ethnicities into their communities as they choose.

Again, the philosophical concept is allowing groups of individuals to collectively gather and have freedom based on genetics... where they drift and flow with that freedom is up to them.
