I don't know why people feel compelled to always inject race or skin color into things as if only some folks of some skin color are concerned with crime and filthiness.

Once people who could not afford living in the suburbs can, they often also escape filthy cities.

In addition, you have unsafe cities like Sao Paulo and you have safe cities like Santiago or Buenos Aires. You have unsafe cities like Davao (although Duterte cleaned up some crime) and you have safe cities like Seoul or Tokyo. It's not due to color. Some cities are safe, others aren't and people who have the means to do so escape them.

LA has many hispanics who have migrated out to the suburbs... are they bad for doing so?

Lots of LatAm cities also have big suburbs and gated communities... are they "bad" for wanting to escape crime?

Was this directed at me? The two comments above me both referenced race. I didn’t inject it into the conversation, I was reacting to it being injected.
