I have heard quite a bit of negative things about Palmer, Nebraska in reference to way minorities ranging from Italian to African Americans are treated. However; due personal reasons which can not explain I have been considering moving that small town. Can anyone give me any credible information about how true this is and possible ways to avoid issues that don_t involve not moving there.
Well, based on the 2000 census (for the whole ZIP code) of 1,168 total population (the city itself being less than 500) and 1,155 being white that leaves all of 13 whole people to be a variety of something else other than white. Zero being black.
That doesn_t mean that they are mean or racist toward people of other races but I would go spend a weekend there. Go to the grocery store, walk the streets... see how people treat you.
You can always live somewhere else since there are small cities all over the US but are more tolerant of _minority_ races than Palmer might be.
