Another bitter stereotype contributing to the US cultural divide. I live in an economically diverse but mostly well-off white collar suburb (not in CA), and we have a strong sense of community. We walk to each other's houses on a whim, we help each other get things done, we shovel the snow for the older folks, we watch out for each other and text each other, we organize community get-togethers. I realize this is an anecdote - I am not saying the correlation you're describing isn't statistically real, just that it's pointlessly negative.
- germandiago 2y agoHow can you label as pointlessly negative something that, in your own words, is statistically real? Reality is what removes the bias more than anecdote, and statistics is what tracks these facts. It would negatively biased if it was more of corner cases than not.
