“…you lose the benefit of interacting with people from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds”
Give me a break. I live in Encinitas and come in contact with people from every ethnic group imaginable every single day. You don’t need to move your family to the Barrio Logan or downtown Detroit to experience cultural diversity. And the idea that we need to appreciate and champion every aspect of other cultures is also an misguided notion. There’s a big difference between moving to a middle class black suburb of Atlanta where your children can interact with black families who have strong values, culture and have been sucessful and moving the urban ghetto in St. Louis where crime is rampant, gangs rule the streets and white people are attacked for being white. Now that whites are a minority accross California you should consider moving to a place like Rancho Santa Fe or Del Mar to experience a ‘diverse culture.’
