There are as a % far more white people living in Harlem NY, than POC in the Villages.

The 5 largest ethnic groups in The Villages, FL are White (Non-Hispanic) (96.6%), White (Hispanic) (1.67%), Asian (Non-Hispanic) (0.848%), Two or More Races (Non-Hispanic) (0.32%), and Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (0.308%).

So fewer than 4 out of a hundred people here are POC. And we are the oldest community in the country, and likely in the world. We are not diverse. Do not mistake the commonly held opinions of people here as representing a cross-section of the opinions of our diverse nation.
