Plain Vanilla trying to be Sundae and Sprinkles, u

Not much cultural diversity (I came here from Los Angeles 10 years ago) and can't stand it. I am actively seeking to move out of Denver, as soon as possible. My neighbors are really uptight, no one talks to one another much unless it's really gossipy and it's a bit snobby for my tastes. I am not a person of color, however if I were, this is the last place on earth I'd want to live in as I find there is not much tolerance. I hear people talking about minorities as if it were the 60's - using terms like 'oriental' and 'colored'. Wow. My neighbors are terrified of the Hispanics in the area and treat them like second class. Enough is enough, LA - I am coming home!! Give me the cultural melting pot anyday. Oh- and ladies? Unless you look like Barbie on a mountain bike, don't expect to meet many single guys. Or if you live in Boulder and are vegan, you might find someone interesting to hike with. Or, if you are up for painting your home blue and orange, you could find a Bronco fan to spend hours in front of the TV or in the new overpriced stadium. Housing costs have skyrocketed in the last few years and renters don't have many rights here. Houses can be falling apart and they just don't care and the law is on their side.
