It's Nice

Conversation had with guy who lives two blocks north while I was walking the dog:

GWLTBN: Hey, where ya live?
B: Two blocks that way.
GWLTBN: It's nice to see more white people around here.
B: Why's that?
GWLTBN: You know, instead of all the Blacks and Latinos.
B: They're alright. I like my neighbors.
GWLTBN: I've lived here 14 years. There's just less and less Whites.
B: There's lots where I live.
GWLTBN: Well, if you see any ...
B: Send 'em your way?
GWLTBN: Yeah.

I'm probably going to regret asking this, but how should that conversation have gone?
