Open Question: Antelope Valley residents: Can you explain...?

The High Desert area north of Los Angeles has the reputation for being a hotbed of white racism, sort of an Idaho Panhandle-light. From time to time there'll be attacks by skinheads or neo-Nazis on a black or Hispanic or Asian, and it'll be all over the news, and strengthen the area's anti-minority reputation. BUT: If you go to the Antelope Valley Mall in Palmdale, you'll see the largest concentration of white husband/black wife couples you're likely to see anywhere. Stake out a spot anywhere in that mall on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and you won't believe how many big, musclebound, shaved-headed, tattooed white guys will come strolling by with their black wives or girlfriends (although most of the couples I've seen have wedding rings), lovingly and tenderly carrying their mixed-race infants or leading by the hand their mixed-race toddlers. I hate to make generalizations about people, but just about all of the kids seem to be happy, and they're well-mannered and very well-behaved---something you would NOT expect of the children of guys who look like these guys! AV residents, have you noticed this phenomenon, and how do you explain it?

Open Question: what neighborhoods in Los Angeles are good for recent college grads?

ideally less than $2000 a month for a two bedroom place. my buddy and I may be moving out west and i can't find good information about the different neighborhoods in the city. any sites that give this info will also help. I'm not terribly concerned about nightlife, just looking for where others my age live. We are both 23, single guys who will be earning at least 40K
