I feel like STL (the ex is from there, so I used to visit a lot) is really racially/class segregated, but the different groups don't really interact that much. In California, and especially here in NYC, groups that classically "don't get along" end up in the same neighborhoods. Plus, here there are a ton of recent immigrants, who bring up the same issues here that they dealt with in their homelands. Does STL have a huge New American population?
