18. I can't speak to whether or not it's getting better or worse

However, I’ve only ever seemed to live in predominantly “white” communities. I live in a semi-affluent community outside of Toledo, Ohio. If I don’t leave my community, I can go days without seeing a minority of any sort.

After living in a place like this, I can totally see where the Republican Party gets its support. These people are completely oblivious to the leg-up they’ve had in life when compared to the majority of people in our country.
