As someone who has spent a fair amount of time in New York, I must comment on what was said about New Yorkers. First let me say that I do not consider myself a New Yorker, and that I didn't particularly enjoy working in New York. However, I have to say that there were many things about New York which I did enjoy (and I don't even really like cities), and that I met some of the kindest people there. Despite the fact that the media have regularly advertised the belief that American citiersxxx cities are centers of racial, ethnic and religious conflict, I must also say that I met some of the most tolerant people in New York. Knowing people from Europe and Asia, I have to satxxx say that also knowing social conditions for foreigners in some of those places (Chinese in Paris, for instance), I'd be surprised to leanxxx learn that foreign cities are any more tolerant than the American ones I've visited. Don't get nexx me wrong- I have friends both in Texas, and in Europe. One of my friends in Texas used to exalt in the Texas atmosphere (he was a transplanted Yankee), and the Texas friendliness, but I could never help but wonder what sort of reception he might have gotten, were he black.
