Well it does exist in many places in the US. I will give you an example of many ranges. Washington, D.C. mostly black: Atlanta, Ga; Birmingham, Al; the list is to long. Now, for non-blacks, any "China Town", SF, Calif; Honolulu, HI; Chicago, IL; New York, NY. How about the "Korea Towns". Believe me it exists. This is not made up stuff. When I lived in D.C. in the early 80's black on white racism was rampant, same for when I was a kid in Jersey in the early 70's. Ever been to inner city Trenton, NJ? This is neither new nor unknown. Thte whole notion of "the other side of the tracks" is a real concept. On one side you were safe and white racism dominated, go to the other side and the roles reversed. That is just the way it was and it remains in many places today.

It is not about equality, which I fully support, it is about role reversal.
