Would you live in a neighborhood where you are member of a racial/ethnic minority?
Assume that it is otherwise a good fit for you in terms of the usual criteria like affordability, low crime rate, access to desired jobs, schools, activities, business, etc. that you like, etc…
If the amenities that I like are in the neighborhood, sure.
However, another question might be, how long do you stay in a neighborhood that is undergoing gentrification, and businesses are changing to no longer meet your needs?( unaffordable+ pretentious,) I do not care about artisanal popcorn or coffee shops that don’t offer milk/sugar unless you bribe them because it interferes with your experience of truly embracing the coffees origins. Im only slightly exagerating.
It is a very hard decision, because you still obviously have to live * somewhere*.
I wouldn’t have a problem with it. My only concern would be if the neighbors would have a problem with my Caucasian self.
Lots of minorities don’t have any other option, because they are, by definition, the minority.
When my step-dad moved into a posh part of Los Angeles, he said with great satisfaction “I’ve arrived. I’m one of the few whites on a street full of Asians.”
I think it depends on what the impact on you might be. For example, it might impact you negatively if everybody in your neighborhood was of a different religion than you, because there might not be a house of worship near you. There might not be a grocery store selling the foods you like to eat. Other than things like that, I’m not sure why it should matter.
Sure! I’ve already done it lots of times!
Been there, done that. 
When we were in Albuquerque recently, everybody asked us where we were from. I couldn’t figure out how they new we were visitors within a few seconds of meeting/talking with us. Finally I realized it was because we are white as chalk. I just don’t notice the differences in the people living there. So if we were to move there, then I guess we would be the minority, and it wouldn’t bother me in the least.

Welcome to MSFT land. 
I would not want to live in a town where there were not any other Jewish people.
No kidding, emilybee, I am not Jewish, but I want my Jewish delis!! 
I actually did this over twenty years ago. As a first time home buyer and against the advice of my parents, I bought a house that I could afford in a neighborhood that was close to work and downtown. I had no desire to live in the suburbs. I was definitely a minority at the time and didn’t think twice about it. I still live in the same house. BTW - It has ended up being a pretty good investment on my part.
It depends. I live in a neighborhood where white people aren’t the majority. There really isn’t a clear majority and everyone gets along fine. I guess the split is between NYC municipal workers and others, with race/religion not being a factor. When we bought our current home, we looked at a community with a good commute where most of the houses were listed as “walk to synagogue.” we ultimately decided not to purchase there because most of the stores/businesses were closed on Saturday and I work all week and try very hard not to drive, so that wouldn’t work for me.
Right now, sure.
When my kids were growing up, probably not. I wouldn’t have wanted them to feel excluded from neighborhood life.
Story of my life. You get over it.
Maybe a bit off topic, but I live in a very racially-diverse neighborhood. We have a lot of gays and lesbians neighbors too. Our diversity is really a point of pride for us. But maybe 95 percent of the people here are democrats. There was one republican during the 2008 presidential election who found his ‘McCain for President’ campaign sign missing from his yard one day after work. He accused the rest of the neighbors of maliciously taking down the sign when in fact the city had come around and pulled ALL political signs that were posted on the city side of yards. Clearly that neighbor felt targeted. He moved out of the neighborhood a year later. So it’s all about your mindset. If you can’t feel comfortable living someplace, then don’t.
I grew up Jewish in a heavily Catholic neighborhood. It was never bad, just odd to have friends talking about their catechism lessons (and sometimes a hatred of nuns who hit them with a ruler). But mostly I think of this as “what do you share?” not “how are you different?” That is, if you’re all of a certain socio-economic class, that’s one thing but if you’re the educated family living in an area of low education or if you’re poor and living in a rich area, etc.
^ Mmm, that’s awkward! :))
@Lergnom - That made me think of something that happened when my son was in middle school. He had a friend in the neighborhood who was abused by his mother when he was younger, lived with his grandparents and was what I would consider to be developmentally delayed by the abuse he suffered in the first years of his life. My son hung out with him all through MS. I once asked him why he was friends with X as I was having a very hard time seeing what, if anything, they had in common. My son responded, “Mom, X is the kindest person that I have ever met in my life. He would do anything for anybody.” Schooled by my 13 year-old.
