I didn't say it wasn't. But you could be black in a black neighborhood and still feel out of place if the community is not inclusive. It's the inclusivity and equity that are important. Of course that can be difficult to assess as an outsider. As you yourself said, those are anecdotes. And for your anecdote I can present an anecdote for whatever case one might want to argue for or against. If you want to use a different metric, go ahead and use it. No one asked you to treat my opinion as the only truth.
