The Trib story about Chicagos in this moment focuses quite a bit on a white woman from Mt Prospect w) the shorthand that it is a white community. More than 1/3 of the people who live there are not.
How does that change the way the character and anecdote operate in the context of the story?

Aaaannnyway...Lincoln Park IS a very white community and also about a quarter of the people who live in Lincoln Park are not white. About 2/3 of the kids at LPHS are not white. What do you lose in conversation about the feds rolling into Lincoln Park when you pretend those people don't exist?

There is extreme residential racial segregation in Chicago...and also Chicago's "white" neighborhoods are a lot more diverse than media and politics acknowledge and this leads to some real dissonance in the way we talk about what's happening right now.
