Hey guys. What do you think is the best midsize "mostly white" city?

The criteria for judging would be -
Jobs
Cost of living
Weather
Recreation
Crime
Education

I've listed 10 cites in the poll which I feel are good picks.

What city do you think would be best?

Thanks!

Portland, Oregon. They have some asians, mexicans, and blacks but yeah, they're predominately white both in the city limits and suburbs.

I'm not sure if Seattle, Minneapolis, St Paul would qualify. Seattle is lately attracting a lot of asians especially due to the tech industry. Minneapolis + St Paul has a lot of minorities inside the city limits but the suburbs (so overall area) is very white.

Edit:

I just saw "no more than 500,000 in the metro", really that's a small city not a mid-sized one? Anyways, look for a college town like Madison, Wisconsin or Ithaca, NY. Maybe a lot of minorities in the actual town, but white overall.

Whites constitute the majority in Charleston, but no way would I consider it a "mostly White" city.

White hoods and flaming crosses went out of style generations ago. If you don't have access to a time machine, I'd suggest you "evolve" into the 21st Century. Maybe you could learn a thing or two from someone who doesn't look like you.

This is the same type of political correct brainwashed response as the other one. If it were someone looking for the best "Black", "Hispanic" or "Asian" mid sized city I guarantee you wouldn't have said anything. Total double standard.

You see posts on CD all the time like: "what is the best city X or Y for a professional African American" or "What is the best city X or Y for a Hispanic family" or "which city is better for African American culture". But if someone were to say: "what is the best city X or Y for a professional white male" or "what city X or Y is better for European American culture"...they would flamed and called a racist. People would totally freak out on them. It's very interesting the double standard we have in America. It's OK for some people to seek out their culture but not others.

Harrisburg is a major fail as well given that it is predominately Black(about 55%). Charleston wouldn't work either. Just another "if it was another group it would be ok" thread. As if national percentages are the same for each group.

Considering whites are 72% of the national population, there are less areas that are non-white than areas that are. Like you literally have to be racist and dislike the sight of even one non-white person to not find a "white city". There's literally no where you can go in America without seeing a white person. Except for places where white people vacated because apparently there were too many non-whites.

Feeling pretty good about living in the most racially integrated city in the U.S. right now (Sacramento). Yes, believe it or not, I, a white man, enjoy living in the company of people whose ancestors hailed from places outside of western Europe! I'm actually heading off to one of these low-life brown people's homes for a glass of wine after I finish typing this.




Seriously, the white supremacy forum is on another website.

I see it's no longer good enough for bigots to flee to the suburbs, now they're fleeing to "White cities" in different states.
