I’m shocked too. I visited Boston around Christmas time in 2019 & it was one of the ‘nicer’ urban places I’ve seen in the US. I mostly stuck ‘round the central touristy areas though. I’m guessing the suburbs must be shitholes?

Depending on where you went, I'm not surprised. Places like South Boston and North End are 80-90% white, Fenway, Back Bay, and South End are 60-70%. Like me, you probably didn't go to Roxbury, Mattapan, East Boston, or Hyde Park. Roxbury in particular is 6% white as of 2010.
