Erm, I guess you have a higher threshold for tolerance. Every time I board Marta, I'm usually mocked by someone of African American decent there. And almost every time I have to explain that I grew up here, I'm as American as you, yada yada. And these Marta stations are pretty close to downtown (Midtown, Peachtree, Lindbergh station, etc) Diverse? Partially. Tolerant? No.
Diversity is nothing compared to SF. Atlanta has whites, blacks, and latinos. You won't find a significant percentage of another. Even on Buford Highway where the majority of Asian grocery stores are, you'll find that Latinos outnumber the Asian population 2:1. California has a good mix of everyone, it's the reason I love it here.
- qaexl 18y agoI don't get mocked when I board MARTA. I ride from Dunwoody all the way to Five Points and out to Decatur, both during the evening rush hour and late at night. ... There are things you can do to your body language that can keep that from happening. If you hate being where you are -- Atlanta or not -- it'll show up in your body language.
