For example, I live in the wealthiest county in GA, and word eventually got out. Some wealthy minorities started moving in, and then the not so wealthy ones followed. Since then, we've dropped from one of the top 10 wealthiest counties in the country to around 15, home prices have dropped, and crime has shot up. Now I'm sure some will say "well that has nothing to do with minorities," and while that is a nice PC thing to say, it is also untrue. Minorities attract more minorities, and while I have nothing against the members of the upper class, large minority populations often breed conditions I would not wish to live in.

Again, you act like minorities themselves are the bad things. You are still in the freaking top 15 wealthiest counties in the country. What part of that seems like you've gotten the homeless bums living in the abandoned house next door?
Ok, plain and simple: if your county is so elite, which I believe than no non wealthy people of any color are going to be able to live there. So who are these "other" minorities moving in that apparently can afford it but are still low-income/crime lords?
If they can afford to live there, they're not "low class" they're just a different color of high class.
You'd probably have little problem with my family moving in (unless you're anti-Catholic) we're fine upstanding people. My siblings are all doing well in school and sports and don't get in trouble. But we're too "low class" to afford it. By your standards, a black couple who can afford to live there should be far above my parents. But I don't think your initial judgements would put them above my parents.
/I get the impression you're going to think I live in a cardboard box or something...
