Liberal cities that are predomiantly white,

A letter came off in a storm, and within a week or so it was back, and the message remains as a landmark entering Charleston. Charleston has lots of vegans. A significant socialist presence?

I think this map is interesting for this sort of comparison: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...ction-map.html

Charleston leans blue of course but so does every major city, and certainly the blue in Charleston is a bit less thorough than say Madison, WI. Charleston's perception is also probably not helped by the tourists as it's a place that people on the right are happy to visit. (not true of all "liberal cities").

“Now a sleek, modern building in the heart of downtown has just opened amid much fanfare, and is set to be one of the city’s—and the nation’s—most significant cultural institutions.

“The building is the International African American Museum (IAAM), located on Gadsden’s Wharf, which, from 1772-1808, was the largest slave auction site in the United States.

“The museum’s June 27, 2023, opening was hosted by former Cosby Show actress and a current dean at Howard University Phylicia Rashad. The Obamas sent virtual remarks, while other celebs and notable luminaries made appearances.

“Charleston is slowly changing the narrative of plantations under the direction of the historical interpreters of Charleston County Parks and Recreation (CCPR), specifically through their work at the McLeod Plantation. McLeod is one of the few plantations in the country that centers the stories of the enslaved, telling a fuller and more complex historical truth.

“Toby Smith, the cultural history interpretation coordinator for CCPR, says this about McLeod: ‘This place is a memorial to the life and the times of those who were enslaved here but retained their humanity. This is their moment to be honored, and to be lifted up and to be learned from.’”

[Serious Conversation]

Even somewhere like Asheville is liberal and very white.

Asheville, North Carolina is 75% white and known for being liberal, including supporting radical global warming policies and being open to slavery reparations. Its particularly rare for an area this white to be this liberal in the South, though I do believe there are a lot of transplants in the area from out of state that affects this. Most places in the South that are 75% white would be 70% conservative.

I live in Northampton. Barely a city, with a pop of 29,000. 87% white, but nearly 7% Hispanic. Is that what the OP is looking for?
