Suburbs are broadly white. Many of them were established to be explicitly white. Some older, inner suburbs, which have become more diverse, are now experiencing white flight of their own. Suburban feelings tend to be white people&#x27;s feelings. It&#x27;s a generalization, but as a white guy who when to school in the &#x27;burbs, I&#x27;m comfortable with that.<p>&gt;  My narrative isn&#x27;t white, black, brown, red, yellow, green, purple, or rainbow; it&#x27;s just mine.<p>If you narrative is American, race is an inescapable part of that. Saying your narrative has no race is basically to say that it&#x27;s white. We white people can talk as if race doesn&#x27;t exist because we have made whiteness the default, the perspective, the unmarked case. But non-white people in America don&#x27;t talk like that.<p>If you&#x27;re looking for an expanded version of how this works, search for critiques of &quot;I don&#x27;t see race&quot;, which has been thoroughly examined and found wanting.
