b) West side of Washington DC, in a white neighborhood, for $1,000/month.
Both have equal commute times to work.
That's all the info you have, and she needs to make a decision ASAP (deadline).
Do you recommend that she choose:
a) East side / black neighborhood, because it would be a good multicultural experience, and it's cheaper.
b) West side / white neighborhood, because white neighborhoods are safer, and worth the extra cost.

No idea on those areas. I do know that racism in the US is a real thing, and black people have a harder time achieving wealth than white people so in order to avoid poverty and crime ridden areas, you are statically better off recommending the white area.
If you think the black majority areas are worse just because they are black then yes, you are racist. It is not a huge bar to climb over. Just quit making decisions based on skin color.
