Hey, Fraugoofy I looked around on the Internet and didn't find anything about The Villages trying to attract any specific brand of people. I also didn't find anything about them trying to get people of the predominant culture that is here to move here. I guess it sorta just happened but I'll bet I going to learn why from several others.

I did find a lot of information about the clubs and activities that the people who move here put together once they landed. I am white and notice remarks daily in different opinion pieces and as of late from others on television who speak unkindly of my race. I don't care. I am proud of who and what I am and nobody's words can take that from me. Velvet's comment was not meant to be hurtful in my opinion.

I am far from a racist and choose to not say why. Those who know me personally can vouge for that being true, I couldn't find a link for that either or I would post it.

Certainly being confused on thread after thread is tiresome as an excuse for stirring the pot and then acting apologetic when the explanation must be offered to straighten out the person in error.

If I'm not proud of being who I am then who would be proud for me.
We have neighbors of every race and color in our neighborhood and they are just wonderful.

I wish I had a better answer to your question and if I see something I'll be certain to reach out and post the link. PEACE OUT!
