there’s a lot of posts on how white suburbs are deeply awful + filled w ppl unable to conceptualize a world outside their own bubble + steeped in racism etc. which obviously is true and all but as someone who’s personally seen many suburbs filled w/ diff ethnic groups (not functionally diverse suburbs just for example suburb 1 filled entirely w chinese immigrants, 2 filled w only pakistanis, etc) the overall results aren’t much better. like at the end of the day the issue lies not in the whiteness of suburban residents but rather the way their lifestyles (car dependancy -> can’t go anywhere else/see other ppl, have never sat on the bus and seen regular ppl etc) allow them to genuinely live their entire lives in an extremely minuscule bubble of homogenous ppl who look & live (esp economically!!!) exactly like them

#other problems for example include. well. i really have nothing to say other than brampton ontario #and ofc fearmongering about the outside world is a huge aspect of the suburban lifestyle. we like to call true crime such a white woman #thing but tell me have you ever seen a canadian brown pocket suburban desi woman. let me tell you she does NOT let her 20 yr old children #out of her sight!!!! pisses me the absolute fuck off #i still can’t get over the time i was talking to some ppl in a gc and every single american in there (brown + grew up in the suburbs)#thought age 12 was WAYYY too young for a kid to be walking to school alone. it was so ?!?!!???#and only me + another friend (british) were like you guys r fucking insane #<- to be clear this was like in a hypothetical where schools were close enough to walk to and everything. they straight up thought 12 yr #olds couldn’t cross the dsmn street by themselves #.txt
