Being White in Philly

James Taranto highlighted this very interesting article about race in Philly - from the perspective of white people.  Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter's response is here.  (Note: it's really idiotic and sad.)

I'm sure this idea sounded good on paper.

I am probably in this category.  That said, I read a bunch of articles about whether I should save money or pay down loans, and their conclusion is that, after I save a bit for an emergency fund, I should just pay down loans.

  1. the best part of nutter's letter - "you suggest that only black people are poor in philly but actually every race is represented. there are so many poor people in the town of which i'm the mayor."
