:p :laugh: I knew that somewhere down the line, someone was going to think this was pretty uninteresting. I'm surprised that this so many people were interested in it to begin with. :shocked:

Anyway, I'm surprised at how all of y'all's cities were mostly white with a smaller population of blacks because my city is mostly black, actually. I suppose that's what I'm used to.

EDIT: Oh, wait. Except for St. Louis.

Shout out for Oakland, too! :laugh:

My hometown is basically WonderBread. Our school population was basically 100% Caucasian. :( One of my good friends is half Indian and she served as our diversity. :distress:
