As someone who lives in the Midwest, the things about ~~omg patriotism~~ and segregation are true but to a much lesser extent (especially the latter). Segregation exists, but it's blurred and I think it's decreasing. The patriotism thing varies wildly from person to person, but I think that's more spread out all over the US. There are also a lot of people who are all "well, I like my country but there are a lot of things we need to fix about it."

I'm from around the Kansas City area and we've had a whole BOOK written about how segregated our city was (and still is). It's..incredibly shocking once you're in the city and looking for signs of it. I grew up way out in the 'burbs and thus took no notice for the longest time.

(Not trying to argue or anything- just tossing in two cents!)

No, I'm in the St. Louis area and things are still fairly segregated too, especially in where people live.

No, that's really interesting.

I'm from Indianapolis, and while it's pretty segregated, I can see those lines sort of starting to break down. It took me a long time growing up to realize how separated it still was, though.

I live in the 'burbs*, and yeah...mostly white. And in fact you're more likely to see, say, Asian families than black families. It's not 100% but very general - the vast, vast majority of people that live in and around my immediate area are white. :/ There are one or two black families in my neighborhood, I think two because I've seen several different kids who were friends of my sister, and apparently when they moved in a few years ago, one of the long-time residents who lived on my street was upset and made a bit of a stink about it (not loudly or publicly, just among other neighbors who she thought would agree. I don't think many did though.)

We still have a long, long way to go.

*still inside Indy's city limits, but we have weird city limits. It's a suburb for all intents and purposes, even if it's still easy to access downtown from here.
