“Most of us live in neighborhoods that are segregated by race and income. Our politics reflect those boundaries. People who are educated don’t talk to people who are not. People who are religious don’t talk to people who are not. If we’re spending most of our time with people who look like us, think like us, talk like us, love like us - and learn like us - then we should consider that a problem and do something about it.”
— Michelle Obama
Simplified Meaning:
People usually live in areas with people who are the same race and make the same amount of money. This affects our political views. Educated people often don't talk to less educated people, and religious people don't usually talk to non-religious people. If we only spend time with people who are similar to us, we should see this as an issue and try to change it.
