I live in a ghetto. The majority of the people around here aren't white. Many black people, quite a few arabs and asians, and some white people.
Now, every morning when I get up to go to class, I see tons of people on the streets, on their way to work/school/whatever. The funny thing is, most of those people are white or asian, some are arabs. No black people whatsoever.
Then, when I get back in the afternoon or evening, the black people have suddenly appeared. They are hanging around a bit, drinking beers on the street, pissing against buildings, playing dice for money, dealing drugs (yes, I know this for a fact), trying to sell stolen bikes, blasting music from their cars, shouting at passers-by and more of that type of stuff. They do this every single day, from about 2 PM to about 2 AM.
I don't consider myself a racist. However, I really have a hard time explaining this in a non-racist way. Anyone got any ideas?
