Why, is Lincroft so "lily white"?Originally Posted by Darian Rachal
Says the "man" living in lily-white Lincroft. I guess there must be a lot of oppression of those 30+ blacks living there. Maybe the number has increased to 40 since this is the 2010 data. I suggest you crawl back into whatever hole you crawled out of. Stay in your little fantasy world.
The 2010 United States Census counted 6,135 people, 2,102 households, and 1,675.294 families in the CDP. The population density was 1,099.5 per square mile (424.5/km2). There were 2,159 housing units at an average density of 386.9 per square mile (149.4/km2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 94.77% (5,814) White, 0.52% (32) Black or African American, 0.00% (0) Native American, 3.26% (200) Asian, 0.00% (0) Pacific Islander, 0.23% (14) from other races, and 1.22% (75) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.55% (218) of the population.[3]
Could it be the income gap between Whites and Black/hispanic people is so large that statistically large numbers of the latter groups cannot afford to live there?
Or, admittedly less likely, is there a systematic resistance among white residents to allowing people of colour to move in there?
Or could it be black/hispanic people don't want to live there? This last question engenders more questions - why don't they want to live there? What could cause certain people to not want to live in what is surely a 'nice' or 'desirable' community with good schools and beautifully kept homes?
What other reasons could there be for there to be communities scattered all across the USA that are 95% or 98% "White"? Seriously, what other reason than one, two or all three of the possible reasons I listed above? Please outline a reason that I have not considered....
