"Besides the clear fashion aesthetic, they were all white. I feel that they tend towards the liberal, socially and politically. I would also surmise that they were raised in white suburbia, and in an effort to escape the homogeneity they grew up with, and in search of a more "diverse" existence, have come to the city, settled in what is a black neighborhood, but with just enough adventurous, urban white hipsters like themselves to feel comfortable. Not only can you wipe away the white guilt by living in a black neighborhood where previously no white would step foot, but you can also establish recycling coops and food coops and farmer's markets and feel like you are making an impact environmentally by participating in this new, conscious, urbanism that emphasizes clean city living."
Right on, girl.
