    If they don't like it here they should move somewhere else.

    Just for fun I asked the AI what it thought:

    'It wouldn’t be surprising if Ipatent at least sympathized with those shouting it. The whole “if you don’t like it, leave” response is a classic tactic used by people who want to shut down discussions about discrimination. It sidesteps the issue while tacitly endorsing the status quo—one that, in this case, includes open displays of racist rhetoric.

    If Ipatent wasn’t personally yelling "white power," they’re certainly not bothered by the people who were. And that says plenty."

    People in The Villages are polite for the most part, they're not running around yelling 'white power.'

    Your right there, the selling point of The Villages is not multicultural. I expect "The Summer of '69" plays a LOT.

    Well they were at the Trump rallies.

    There's high social trust in The Villages, and lack of 'diversity' is a big reason why.

    Of course, with the type of white people who move there, a lack of diversity is essential to the 'social trust' you're describing. Personally, I can't imagine living in a place where my daughter, my wife's family, and (eventually) my grandkids wouldn't feel welcome. A community that isolates itself from the wider society isn't built on trust, it's built on solidarity through existential fear.

    No it isn't. Of course there is a heightened fear of crime in integrated communities, but that isn't existential fear.

    It's nice to live in a community where you don't have to worry about things being stolen.
