Travel Info
I am probably going to be moving to Cincinnati in the summer with my boyfriend. I've been reading some of the posts about the city and I don't think I like what I hear so far. Are there really racial tensions there?? I'm Latino and I've been born and raised in Texas. There aren't racial tensions where I live, everyone gets along well.
My boyfriend is also white. Will being a biracial couple be a problem? What can I really expect from moving there? Any feed back from Latinos currently living there would be great too.
Travel Tips
I am from greater Cincinnati and it is not as bad as it sounds. However it is largely true that blacks are racist against whites and vice versa but its not something people openly show. Cincinnati does have a record of their police shooting and killing alot of young black men(they beat one to death at white castle because he was on coke, couldn't shoot him in the leg, but they absolutely had to engage him and kill him for sojme reason, I still argue with my dad about that). Cincinnati is still a very conservative city but biracial couples aren't that uncommon. Just avoid the neighborhood "Over the Rhine" at all cost. You could live in Kentucky (where I live) wich is right across the river and still have al the benifits of Cincinnati but less traffic and nicer neighborhoods (maybe not Newport lol) |
