When you live in the country, you are less likely to bump into, well, anyone. This is only exacerbated for minorities.

- ptaipale 10y agoI'm not so sure of this. There is a significant aspect of loneliness in cities, often more so than in rural areas. And quite some research done on this. Physical proximity does not mean that people actually meet and engage with each other.
- tzakrajs 10y agoLoneliness and access to other residents (be it minority or not) are related but not the same. If you are cloystered inside your city apartment, it will still be hard to avoid people that you must interact with on a daily basis to support yourself. This fundamental level of cooperation creates opportunities for respect to be formed.
- douche 10y agoAlthough, if you live in the country, and you were born there, then there is a good chance you know everybody in the community, and are possibly related to a good chunk of them.
