Can races co-exist in urban areas or even countries? I've always found it interesting how many major neighborhoods in large United States cities have always been divided into racial neighborhoods (Not sure if this is the same for cities in other nations, but I believe this holds true).

Post your opinion on why/why not races can co-exist together.

they do so in America better then most of the world. at the end of the day, ideology always trumps race as far as divisions goes.
It always a battle at first after several generations, even the most ethnically dense neighborhoods get Americanified in some way. A unified culture helps to bind people. A music festival in California will draw a large group of african americans, asian americans, and especially hispanic americans, as behind whites, they make up the next largest group. And you find many of these people have friends of at least a different race beyond the event.

What kind of herp-dee-derp question is that?

Not only can people of different races co-exist, but they often live together, get married to each other, have babies together, and raise them to adulthood together.

My Asian wife and I live in America, as do two of our three children. We attend a church where ~20% of the people are involved in ongoing and exclusive mixed race relationships.

So the REAL question is: "Can Joker's mother and other family members get along with people of other races?"

Obviously, the answer is "No".

Being that race is a pseudoscientific myth created in the Early Modern Era by Western elites, of course they can coexist as the distinction does not actually exist.

Now, with cultures, it is a harder question to answer: Multiculturalism requires that people pretend their are no differences in worth between cultures, when they do indeed exist, so that no one is offended and starts acting up. Take the difference between China, a largely homogeneous civilization-state, and India, a heterogeneous nation-state; which is doing better? Now, I do not think that just any culture should be given the privileged of monopolizing culture but I do think that certain cultures are superior to others.

Import Singapore
the singapore model will work wonders in that part of the world since it is largely muslim with ethnicities that have more shared values then say a middle eastern or chinese and an American. Also, the activist centralized government is allowed there as well...

so all you need to do is break the races up so that each city block is mixed up and indian and malayan and chinese school children all walk to school together and most likely their parents will work together as well, and have a unifying language and culture(though they can keep their native tongue and the parts of their native culture that doesn't conflict with yours). In Dubai, as is much of the middle east, it is still a bit too racist and a non middle-eastern cannot even become a citizen of some countries/city-states, namely the Emmerites.


The Problem
It is bad enough when you find a country that values blood (like black blood or jewish blood or chinese blood), or values familism which again places a heavy emphasis on blood over merit, wherein good is determined by blood and bad is the non-blood. In the Tribalistic middle east, they suffer from the over valuation of blood, familism, and tribalism.

Even if the P-word muslim is being tortured endlessly by another P-word muslim or an afghani muslim, that's okay, but it boils one blood when it is an American or Israeli doing so? These muslims only go ape*$(% when it is a westerner but if its a Libyan, Syrian, Egyptian, Sudanese government carrying out the evil, they don't feel animated enough to head over to this country where injustice is routinely carried out in and bomb roads or buildings in the name of social justice. Why? Because of tribalism... it is a very unevolved way at looking at the world. Blood should take a backseat to love, merit, freedom, equality, and a whole host of other values that have made the west the leaders of human progress.

Depends on some interplay between race, culture and class. Sometimes they mix well, sometimes they don't. People of different races who share a culture and class tend to do ok today. Wasn't always true historically, obviously.

People who share none of those things don't mix well.
