No one seemed to think them any more different than any other ethnic group.

But that might be very meaningful if other ethnic groups were looked on very unfavorably.

Or it might just be that they where so segregated that there was only one black family close by, and one family wasn't enough to cause a negative reaction. If a dozen other families moved close by you might have gotten it.

My experience in New York, is more recent than yours in New Jersey (but still not very recent anymore). I didn't see institutionalized racism, but I saw more casual racism there than I've seen in the South (even discounting Northern Virginia as not being really "south", I've been in almost every southern state if not for as much time). Of course that might have more to do with change over time than difference between places. Perhaps there isn't so much casual racism in New York in 2017 as compared to the 70s and early 80s.
