is there a 98 % white caucasian city (home, job openings, school district)

[Huckleberry3911948]

im not sure. i am of mideastern origin. i am always very disappointed when i come to a city (e.g. miami) that apparently has no white people i dont feel there is anybody i can blame stuff on and the people are never apologetic. this is offensive and grossly unfair to me. what is worse when i leer and drool on women, which is my usual custom, instead of acting all shy and sexy, they pop me in the mouth. this is most unfair.
it needs to stop now.

Here is some information on Chicago. Note segregation of blacks in particular.
RESIDENTIAL INTEGRATION AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS: Segregation of the Population: Dissimilarity with Non-Hispanic Whites by Race/Ethnicity, 2000
Metro Area
Hispanic 61.1%
Non-Hispanic Black 80.3%
Asian/Pacific Islander 42.4%


Definition: Dissimilarity is the evenness with which one racial population group is located (or segregated) within a metro area, with respect to another racial group. The dissimilarity statistic is interpreted as the proportion of one racial group that would need to relocate to another neighborhood (census tract) for that racial group to be distributed across the metro area like a second (reference) racial group. A value of "0%" reflects absolute integration; a value of "100%" reflects absolute segregation.
Notes: Non-Hispanic black and Asian/Pacific Islander groups include people who identified themselves as those races "alone" or those races "in combination with other races."

Do they tend to be more racist because they're not used to them, or are they less racist because they don't think about the negative stereotypes of race?

Well, I grew up in Maine. We had one black student in high school. Lived in Portland. More blacks, but not alot. I think Maine-iacs are less racist because of this. To me they're people, not "black" or "African American".

The whitest part of the country that I've been to is vermont, new hampshire and maine. 98% white, 99%.

White kids working at Burger Kings.

White maids in hotels.

Makes me wonder about the arguement for illegals...."they do jobs the rest of us won't." Hmmmmmm. The people that believe that haven't traveled much.

Back in the day Willamette Weekly in Portland ran an article proclaiming Portland the whitest city in the U.S., "Honkeytown, U.S.A."

Well all the white places are the places with very little-if any-violent crime.Go whitey!

It angers you?

Columbus is predominantly white, though it has annexed a lot of distant "suburban" areas, which elsewhere in the NE/MW would have been separate communities.
