Sounds like me... my wife, who is brown, wants to move back down towards San Diego and I want nothing to do with... I'm just going to say "people who think they're gangstas"
You can call me racist for that all you want, I just don't care and not my problem. My problem is with retards that think they're gangstas or worse, actually are just thugs. It's my #1 irritation with people in general is the ghetto/rapper/street thug type of people. That ghetto bullshit just makes me want to put my shotgun on my back and walk around with my AR-15 at the ready... flash a gang sign at me and I'll show you my muzzle flash. It's not my fault that shit that pisses me off tends to be more prevalent in populations that are on the darker shade of things. It is what it is, I'd rather live where most people are just normal and the different colored people that are here DO NOT act like they're ghetto super trash.
I' would be like good. We brown people are gonna take over the whole country and it's ours now. Most white people are gonna move back to Europe. Lol 😂
I'm biased because I'm brown myself, but I'd let her move to a white area by herself.
Her not relating to her coworkers is her own fault. She could easily find ways to relate - share food with them, explore their culture, share hers, find common interests that have nothing to do with race, etc - but instead she's being a racist about it and trying to justify it with laziness.
I left my ex-fiancé in part because he was just... Too white. And part of that - the worst part - was he expected me to act as some sort of "diversity interpreter" instead of him actually learning more about the non-white people in his life.
You sound like you've got a good head on your shoulders, and an inclusive mindset. I say you deserve someone with those traits more than your girlfriend deserves you.
I’d take her for a ride.. really really far,
tie her to a pole
and say let me try this for a sec
then I’d drive away.
I think by then, she couldn’t find her way back home.. or smell it either.
Maybe me and the brown people are safe?
🤔👍

Playing the devil's advocate I would say, to her, it's not racist. To everyone else, it's straddling the public opinions racist line. I'd be fair with her in understanding she has a certain personality, lifestyle, culture, etc, essentially who she is doesn't align with where she lives. It's like me dreaming about moving from Canada to Texas because the libertarian ideals Texas has aligns better with who I am. That doesn't make me a Canada hater, it's just not for me preferably and thankfully we don't HAVE to like everyone; we just owe common decency to those we meet in life.
“That’s racist!”
Oh so what. No one has any problems being racist against White people but the minute one says they like living around people who look like them they become Adolf Hitler.
Of course it’s no problem though if a Black person says there are too many White people around. Or for Mexicans to want to live around other Mexicans and shop in Mexican grocery stores and attend an all Spanish church service. They’re just celebrating their culture. In fact we should help them out. 👍
Gimme a break. 🙄
If she was raised in this area. She should know how to handle her emotions. If she moved into this area. She didn’t do her research.
I have worked with racist people that you could feel the racism in the air. If that is her reasoning. Then she might as well move. With or without you. Because she will never be happy living and working there’. Also if she knows that she won’t be promoted or advanced in her career because of certain things. Then she should find somewhere else that she will be happy living there!
Having lived in a township where it was 50/50 white black in Cincinnati. Some of the nicest neighbours in the area were black. I've had white neighbours there who I wish weren't but never had any issues with the black population.
Being a good neighbour doesn't have a colour.
It is a preference and everyone has them. Black oriole I know don’t even want the white peoples to move in and “gentrify” their black cultural neighborhoods. That’s not racism.. this is preference. Racism would be creating policy on that preference to inhibit other non-blacks from moving into the area. Get the log out of your own eye before you point out the stick in “her eye”
I wouldn't say its racist, it's just a preference and she isn't necessarily doing it out of ill intent. I just think its superficial and dumb to think like that but whatever.
Personally, I wouldn't move. You do you though.
Her saying that "[she] gets along better with other white people and feels more comfortable with other white people" is the definition of a racist, and if she can't recognize that, and you have a problem with it, maybe it's time to dump her.
Racist. I married a white Mormon girl from utah. Im not white. Holy hell the ignorant stereotypes are so annoying. I deal with comments like this all the time.
Worst part is that they dont even think their comment is a problem
I would be disgusted with her. My Asian (Iranian) stepdaughter, Filipino husband and mixed race daughter recently moved to Arkansas. I was worried because it is an area alleged to be quite racist. It has been the opposite. Their social life has never been better and so far, not a single instance of racism. I think it proves that attitudes are changing and ethnicity is less of an issue.
I'd respect her honesty, moving or not would have to do with my own convenience, my work my friends my life these things matter far more than choosing based on whether someone's getting offended or not
It depends. If you are living in a crime ridden neighborhood I might agree with her. If she doesn't like a certain group of people because of their race or where they came from it would make me uncomfortable.
Your girlfriend is fucked up. Leave her.. I bet she pays for tanning products too🤣🙃
There is only a 1.2% Black population in Utah. You had to try pretty hard to land in a Black neighborhood there. Why did you buy or rent where you are at? What attracted you to the area? Price?
Moving because there are too many people with a different skin colour around you sounds stupid. No, wait: it's not stupid, it's racist.
depends on how much you like her, how long you've been together and obviously how much your life in your current hometown is important to you
She leave, you stay.. why should bother unnecessary thing like this
What do you think? I think that matters most here.
I would interpret it as racist and dump her. I don't mind different opinions, but there are limits and racism is one of those.
She can most definitely go by herself. That’s very racist.
I don’t want to be in a relationship with a racist person
