There are very few Blacks and Hispanics that live in VA. Beach. The one's that are complaining are probably from Norfolk or elsewhere.

What is your definition of very few blacks? I lived there 15 years up until last June and live just across the NC border now, and I never got that impression. Va Beach has 85,593 black people in a population of 424,257 (as of 2000 census). A large chunk of the western half of Va Beach is black (College Park/Level Green and Newtown/Baker/Diamond Springs are mostly black areas).

Well, Va, Beach looks really vanilla compared to the Memphis area where I live. Maybe the area's are more segregated there and I just did not see them in the 13 years that we visited there.
