That's not what I said, but it is according to empirical data. America is a long way from segregation and the LA riots.
In 1990, nearly 50% of white respondents to a survey indicated they'd oppose living in a neighborhood where half the residents were black. In 2014, under 20% would oppose it and over 80% are indifferent or would favor it.
Going back further than 1990 only serves to bolster that fact.
