We really need to form a real group.....for real people ..that dont care what others think....SW PA is too overly concerned about race
It is. The city itself isn't so bad, per se. The tech boom has added an element of diversity to areas like Shadyside, the "North Shore" (we still say North Side), downtown, Lawrenceville, and East Liberty. Some folks call it gentrification to some degree; others just miss the doom and gloom of rusty old Pittsburgh. Neighborhoods that are still homogenously white and occupied by "yinzers" like Stanton Heights, Mt. Washington, Lincoln Place, and Bloomfield aren't as progressive, though.
Racism to varying degrees isn't at all uncommon outside of the city. If you consider that 20 miles in any direction puts you in cornfields, coal mines, or rust belt towns like Aliquippa, Monessen, and Ambridge that once boomed when the mills polluted the skies, it's not all that surprising. As industry left the area, people lost the means to leave the area. Values from previous generations become recycled. Racism, though diminished from previous generations, is still passed on to some extent.
Another reason why folks from SWPA may be hesitant to play locally; the Pittsburgh area is "small" in the social sense. Everyone knows someone who knows someone. Whether you're from Beaver, Butler, Uniontown, Greensburg, or Bethel Park, talking to folks in public often leads to conversations that entail "Oh, I know their cousins, from Tarentum!" type scenarios.
When you combine that small social form factor with a community that embraces a non-progressive stance on social issues, you've really got a good recipe for folks like us who won't consider playing with someone unless they're outside of the Pittsburgh region.
