Always find these interesting and how segregated the United States is. I think Chicago wins that category.

Seattle has become more heterogeneous but mostly through gentrification.

Red states are the true "welfare queens" in terms of spending more than they bring in, and it's hard to see things improving as the youth, the educated, the tech firms, and women/LGBTQIA+ people emigrate in droves... which I suppose is the rationale for forced birth in these poverty states

In the cleavage of the Tetons
So, I deleted this yesterday because some people were saying that this was no big deal, but it very much is. This happened in Idaho (not JH), but I lived over there for about 12 years, and I never saw a race related incident that entire time until yesterday.
Context:
Leyth is a American born citizen, no accent grew up in the south, but is East Indian (iow, brown).
Highly educated, not wealthy, but owns property and lives in Tetonia. IT technician.
