LOL, I guess thats that price you have to pay to take advantage of the things you mentioned. Still worth it in my opinion, buts thats pretty darn cold.
downers grove, is 87% white. that is why i said that. Fort lauderdale is only 57% white, with a significant percent of that 57% neing persians and other groups who are lumped into that category. we were not comparing chicago to fort lauderdale. we were comparing downers grove to fort lauderdale. got anything else to say? 2 years in downers grove is enough to make me want to shoot myself. moving from the hood to a significantly white homogenous population now, I know how important it is to have diversity. I am tired of the odd stares and smart ass remarks that people make towards me. Im just warning any other minorities out there that grew up in diverse places such as florida or cali, (diverse where people actually mingle together. from what i hear, my friends who grew up in chicago told me that it is diverse, but the races are rather segregated to different neighborhoods and parts of the city. and it is very evident) that race still does matter. I know most of you people will say that it isnt like that anymore, but that is just naive..... maybe for those of you who are bookworms and dont go out as much to bars and such wont care about this as much, as you will probably only be hanging out with fellow student or stuck in your room studying (not like its a bad thing, im sure we will all have to do alot of this), but for the more social folks, nothing sucks more than going out to a bar/club /party and not see anyone else that looks like you.
where did you grow up? if you grew up in a predominantly white community, then you are used to it and dont know any better (not saying you did)..like i mentioned, my comments are geared towards people who came from places like cali and such.
