Yes, a decrease of roughly 7k black residents in 20 years, and Richmond's changing demographics are a bit more nuanced than black and white. In the last 20 years, the asian population has doubled, the % of foreign-born residents has nearly doubled, and the hispanic population has nearly tripled (with "Hispanic(white)") driving around a third of richmond's white population growth (roughly 10k out of the 30k increase in white ppl over 20 years, in the city proper).

Also, kind of odd to pick NY and Nova, two of the most ethnically diverse places in the country, as the scapegoats for a perceived wave of white (non-hispanic) migration

Korean is my all-time favorite cuisine and this place is my go-to. The building was formerly an old Red Lobster and still has some of that American chain restaurant look/vibe, but food & service, (including at-table bbq grill!) is authentic and wonderful. I haven’t been in a while; now I’m hungry.

I think Zumba is a great option. Would also recommend some slow paced yoga classes- this is how I began getting in better shape. Yoga helped me to realize that no one is paying nearly as much attention to me as I thought! It helped me get more confident so I could start trying out other more challenging classes and finding what I enjoyed the most. I haven’t been to any of the Y facilities on that side of the river, but I can tell you the northside Y is super welcoming of people of all abilities. I imagine it’s similar at all facilities. Good luck!
