I think the ignorance in these comments say otherwise...

  There were a couple of movies around this trope. Black TV also has this trope (kind of like how other comedies might insert a bar(tender) scene). People are unaware of lots of things. Ask, who are your two senators. You'd be surprised in today's day and age of constant media barrage, but many people can't answer.

    > There were a couple of movies around this trope. It’s even referenced in a Disney (Pixar Animation Studios) film (Soul, where the main character’s history of arms-length interactions in that context as a violation of social norms is called out.)

  Oh, I think there is still some ignorance, I just don't think what remains is really much attributable to the “sort of on purpose” concealment by the community as to disinterest in the lifestyle of other subcultures by people outside.

    It's not a "secret" hangout, it's a safe hangout that has a racist-acceptable justification so it won't get raided by the police for no good reason.
