In America do European Americans occupy the cities and others live in the suburbs?

I ask this question this morning but it was refused on PC grounds When refering I must use there places of origin before stating there nationality. So my question is, Do European Americans occupy the main cities in America and the others African, Chinese Asian etc live in the suburbs?

1. Hmm...if by European-Americans, you only mean people of European descent and not recently-arrived new citizens, no. I've noticed that more European-Americans live in suburbs, rather than in inner cities, while African-, Asian- and Hispanic-Americans tend to gravitate more toward cities. Recently-arrived Europeans tend to move to cities to make their starts in the US. However, 20-somethings of all ethnicities are starting an urban revival. My husband and I are considering moving into a downtown loft in our home city. Hope this helps!
2. Actually, you have it backwards. Many whites fled to the suburbs in the sixties for a variety or reasons. Many blacks remained in the cities because they couldn't afford to move. As the money and the organizational skills left, many cities entered a sad cyle of decay, high taxes, and more decay as more businesses left due to ever-increasing taxes. It is very sad especially when the voters are cutting their own throats when they try to punish the employers and entrepeneurs. If you really think a Civil Servant knows what's best for you, you are naive. The problem with many politicians is that though they may be sincere, their ideas just don't work. The social programs of the sixties really decimated the black family and it may take literally centuries to get many poor people to realize that they are poor because they make bad decisions. (Such as having a baby when you're unmarried or working a low-paying job. If you can't afford chidren, don't have them! If you really love kids, you certainly don't want to raise them in poverty. And I certainly hope there are no readers of this who believe there is anything virtuous about poverty. Wealth is a sign that you are giving society something that it values. Poverty is a sign of... well, you figure it out.) Sorry about the rant but it's election year and the lies and pandering are ubiquitous. Many minorities mock "white" culture but they want the benefits of it without adapting to it. There is not racial prejudice in the economy as much as there is mind-set prejudice. Many minorites mock logic and reason which are the cornerstones of many busisnesses. If you want to succeed, you have to adapt. In fact, that's a law of nature - adapt or die. If God created Nature, is God saying adapt or die? Look, man, I'm poor. It's because my mother did a lot of stupid things and I did a lot of stupid things. The wealthy didn't make me poor - I did! Sorry about the rant - just tired of self-pity from the voters who don't seem to relize that taxing the productive is just foolish, in the long run. Frankly, I don't think it will change until the US collapses and people look back and see their mistakes and, hopefully, learn from them. Thanks for typing, O Silent One. Best wishes. FP
3. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. First we are Americans. European Americans are immigrants trying to gain citizenship. And they like all other immigrants live all over the country. In the big cities there are areas that immigrants tend to settle and become known in ethnic terms...like litte Italy, Chinatown, and so on. But that is the case no matter where you go in the world. Immigrants tend to migrate and live in groups for security and help from eachother. Second and third generation Americans live all over. My neighborhood is in the suburbs up North of a major city and there are all kinds that live here. I would consider it a middle class neighborhood...slightly higher than lower middle class. There are all nationalities on our street alone. Marriages with mixed nationalities and so on. There is no pattern as to where people settle in the states. It is pretty evenly spread out all over. Now some of the poorest parts of the country exist in isolated areas, but those are also made up of a variety of ethnic groups.
