> Moving to a cheaper city is a valid decision but it's a more complicated value choice as a person of color. Its not just racial minorities that face this issue either. If you're gay, you might have a very limited selection of potential partners to meet in a minor city, and very few culturally gay places to go to. If you're trans, you'll probably be alone in a small town and almost certain victim of a hate crime. A good perspective i like to use for regular straight white americans that don't experience much diversity is sports teams. If you like the cowboys, how much would you enjoy going to only sports bars in boston that play the Patriots games? Sure you can watch the cowboys at home, but none of your friends will want to watch with you, and if there is a cowboy v patriots game on TV, you might feel super comfortable wearing your team's jersey out in public.
