No, it's not that way here. I was born and lived most of my life in a large city (Phoenix.) I worked alongside, lived alongside non-whites...being one, myself. *g* But there were lots of white people who did, too. Now I live in the small town of Kentwood, Michigan, right outside of Grand Rapids, a sort of small city. I rarely see other people of color. I know they're here, but they were redlined into certain neighborhoods decades ago. In fact, it was quite a shock when we first moved here, the difference in the way the people of the Midwest think, as opposed to those in the West.
