pretty much every city in the country is clearly racially segregated
People tend to want to settle and be amongst people who share the same cultural values as them...I'm not sure why we have to see that as a negative

I think the negative part is assuming that different color means you must have different values. I don’t know why we got to this point. They won’t all be the same, but if they’re entirely conflicting you can’t have a unified country that way. We do have to have some common ground and overlap if this is to be a country and not just a facade.
Keep cultural traditions, great, that’s fine, as long as they don’t consist of killing everyone who doesn’t believe in Muhammad or something. At the same time don’t get pissed about people being influenced by it, calling it cultural appropriation when a white guy does rap, and don’t get pissed when a black guy does country (as long as they both do it genuinely and artistically, more like Eminem / Darius Rucker and less like Beyoncé who had no authenticity whatsoever in her stupid pandering country song that went to #1). We gotta stop this “don’t touch our culture” stuff. And it’s mostly a problem in the black community. White people don’t give a shite if a black kid wants to learn all 32 Beethoven sonatas or if Darius Rucker sings a good country song.
