These kids have visited the Villages but are now grown up as so had the kid(s) of my younger brother. My younger brother married a Jamaican-American the 2nd time around and they did experience some harsh looks and actions from both sides of the extended families involved with the mixed race marriage. And some prejudices from people here in the Villages when they visited.
Do think things have gotten better in that area though here in the Villages. But, again, we have lived here since the summer of 2005.

My office manger of over 25 years is AA. She was down in FL last Winter, visiting her sister (who lives about 30 minutes north), and I invited her and her husband to join us for dinner @ Blue Fin in Brownwood.
They LOVED TV and have returned for dinner 2-3 more times on subsequent visits... She's thinking of moving here when she retires...
I asked her if the "political slant" TV is supposedly known for made any difference. She said no one treated her any differently than they do in DC or the Maryland suburbs...
