Hell, there were (are still?) segregated schools up until around 2000. I know at least one wasn't set to desegregate until sometime in the 90s.
I remember reading about a segregated prom in like 2013
bay area, california, and folk use religion as their segregator. if they want to be surrounded by all white people they pick a religion/cult that has only white people going to it. have their kids go to their youth group, do their polyarhythmiac jazz prom, go to their ~~halloween~~ harvest dinner/chili cookoff and kick all their bland white bean turkey chili bell peppers too spicy asses, sorry i had a point somewhere but i remembered some ptsfuckingd chili and that shit does things to you. like, i don't think my great/grand/parents joined the cults they joined because they were racists, i think they joined because they were lonely and being racist was something people didn't end relationships over. you end relationships over white grandma turkey chili that's got no spice in it oh your god cassie. or your sister cassie's god it doesn't matter. drop an ancho and a bar of chocolate in it and pretend just don't please gods please don't enter it in the contest again i'm not tasting it if i'm a judge.
don't join cults kids, you might end up eating some nasty fucking ass chili do your worst hyphen clown asses
The further north you go the more segregated it gets and still is today. But we never think of the northern states as segregated.
The northern states aren't really segregated, we just have like 99% white people.
oregon isn't segregated it was just illegal to be black until some embarrassing time i forget
This is not true. Northern cities are still extremely segregated. We say it's because of economics now, but it's effectively segregation. The underlying causes of the economic disperity largely remain in place also.
