Nowadays, nearly every large city in the U.S. doesn't have an 'Anglo-Saxon' majority as they had in the 1960s. So, it can't be New York, Chicago, Los Angeles or Atlanta. What do you think?

Are you talking about cities only or metropolitan areas?

Has anyone compiled numbers as to whether the white people in a certain place are Anglo-Saxon, Mediterranean, Slavic, Scandanavian...?

FTR:

Boston: 50.6% non-hispanic whites
San Francisco: 45.1% non-hispanic whites, which means that while it's a "minority majority" city (more minorities in total than whites), there are still more white people than any other single racial group. Sure doesn't feel that way living here though, haha.
Seattle: 67.1% non-hispanic whites. Oft-touted for being "racially diverse," the next largest racial group are Asians, who make up an astounding 16.6% of the city populous.

What do I think?

At the end of the day... who really cares? America isn't Sweden or Korea, we don't have a homogenous populous. If white people don't want to emigrate from Europe anymore and white people just plain aren't reproducing like they were, what's one to do? Have a European immigration initiative? Free sex toys and intimacy classes?

I'll just be happy to sit on the porch of my home and watch all the hot, young hapa girls walk by when I'm an old feller.

My first thoughts are Louisville, Cleveland, or Minneapolis but its really quite hard to say and also depends on your definition of a WASP.

If we're talking only British Decent it might differ. If we're including all WASP than those would be my 3 guesses. They are only guesses though.

Every city has a large population of something besides WASP or this would be an obvious answer.

^ Yeah, but Catholics are the largest religious group in all of those cities, and the Catholics are overwhelmingly white

I don't think Anglo-Saxon Protestant has any majority cities though at least not when talking about large metros. What cities do they have the majority in?
