Seems that most white, urban, upper class, folks I interact with are in denial about such things.

Was at a party of mostly professors and academic types ( wife made me do it ) in Durahm, NC a few weeks back. Durham is a sanctuary city and just about a third world country but I went hoping to get a line on some Duke basketball tickets. A couple of the guys drifted off and were discussing the up coming season. Talk went to guns, and one pony tailed dufus was really upset that we all had guns in our homes. He about blew a gasket when I told him I was carrying there, and honestly could not imagine why I would be as there were no criminals around.

When I tried to explain where we were and that you could go 3 blocks in any direction and be in the ghetto it still did not register.

We left shortly after.
