Boston is an incredibly segregated city, it’s shocked me every time I’ve been there. You really don’t see any black people. Instead you see white trash people doing stuff that in any other northeast city would be not white.
I live in the Boston area and spend a lot of time in Boston. I can’t believe you don’t see black people. There are many different races in Boston.
I think the article is silly but now that you mention it, Boston is the ONLY place I have ever heard of where white people live in the projects.
“Instead you see white trash people doing stuff that in any other northeast city would be not white. “
Sounds like you’ve been hanging around the wrong neighborhoods.
.
I noticed that in Boston, they keep their poor blacks a long train ride outside the city.
I grew up in a city just like the one you described. That was half a century ago. Even the mixed neighborhood that I grew up in had many more whites than blacks, for a time.
Boston is nothing like that anymore.
In the 2010 count, 27% of Boston residents are foreign born. That number ain’t about Irish immigrants neither.
Boston may still not have the % of non whites as other bigger cities, but it has been a non white majority for quite a few years now. The student population may skewer the appearance to some, but as one who works in the city, I can honestly say that the demographics here are radically different than just 3 decades ago.
