Cause most places are majority white in a country that’s 70% white.

I feel like Northern New England is your best bet here, since New England is the only place Dems really significantly win the White Vote. Portland, ME is 82% White and like Biden+65
No. Per the Census the country was 57.8% white in 2020.

Even in the more conservative ACS measures. Its 60% white as of like 2021. Seattle as for a major city is pretty white.

For sure New England is your best bet Issue is Portland Maine doesnt count as 100k+. Hoboken could give it a run for its money. Hoboken is 65% non ispanic white and about 60k people.

The best 100k+ city that majority white other than Portland Denver Minneapolis and Seattle would be Cambridge.

But if youre just using predominately and not majority-white It'd be San Francisco or Boston after the aforementioned bolded.

Portland Oregon as usually at the top of this list.

Some Latinos are White frankly. I really don’t see the difference between Mexicans who can’t speak Spanish and Italians who can’t speak Italian.

Some but per the latest census its a smallish share think it was 13-20% in the 2020 Census. And lower than that in Boston. But yea there are Latinos I see in western states that are white passing. Theyre rarely liberal though..

A good portion of Hispanics identify as white and pretty much becoming “white” in the next 1-2 generations.

Yes. But you know the term white is pretty fluid.

Pittsburgh is kind of a "dark horse" in this category. 66% White and very heavily Democratic.

Sara Innamorato was recently elected to county-wide office as a "socialist" Dem:

The way that OP phrased this question is weird. What does 'not Hispanic, no Asian" mean? Are there people who really confuse Asian or Hispanic with white?
This question only makes sense for someone who's looking for the liberal vibe of Burlington, VT but bigger, and at the same time wants to see as few non Anglo whites as possible.

Also, wouldn’t the pre 1970 city limits have been larger (maybe not by a whole lot but definitely bigger) than the 42 sq. mi of what they’re referring to as the center township?

I don’t proclaim to be an expert on the city, but what I know is that with a 1:1 ratio of white to everyone else, it would be a stretch to define Indianapolis as a predominantly white liberal city among the likes of the aforementioned cities in the earlier posts. Indeed, on the ground Indy feels very much like its peers Columbus and Cincinnati in terms of noticeable diversity, and moderately liberal somewhere in between the 2 but closer to the latter.
I never made such a claim, and that is not the comment you made that I responded to. You said the stats for Indy would be skewed by virtue of having merged with the county, and I simply highlighted correctly that this is not true in this context.

Center Township contains most of the old city limits, and has a racial demographic that aligns with Marion County at large. If you add the balance of the old city limits to Center Township, I don't think much would change.

Let me ask you this. If Marion County as a whole is 52/27, and Center Township is 50/32, where do anticipate the data to skew if we're adding from such a similar data set?
