[quote=sayulita;13623073]Well I've lived in Portland for 35 years and as far as I know anybody of any ethnicity is welcome to move here. We have a a sizable Hispanic community that is well entrenched in Portland and suburbs. In my everyday life I run into Koreans, Vietnamese, Hispanic, Japanese, Chinese and yes, a few African Americans. We are not as lily white as the article would have you believe, And for the record we have ethnic restaurants up the wazoo and a frequently lauded restaurant scene on the whole. Our diversity is what it is and isn't because we are keeping anyone out. Why all the agony over it? Come one, come all -
I live in a nearly completely white suburb. Yesterday I dumped my motorcycle at a difficult stop sign and a guy came over and gave me a hand getting it back on its wheels. He happened to be black. I don't see any advantage to living in an all white or a mixed race city. There are good people and bad people of all races. I try and stay around the good ones.
You're naming one of a few black serial killers/mass killers out of MANY white. I was just making a point that there is always someone complaining about minorities moving into their "perfect white" neighborhoods, when in reality they're not so perfect.
I've seen it first hand. First come the decent middle class blacks, then within a few years, here come the thug mentallity idiots with there hip hop culture and drug dealers shooting each other, well,there goes the neighborhood.
If a place is majority white, then so be it. I don't see anyone rasing a stink over mostly black cities.
@NYchi: you're acting just as bad as the white bigots on here right now. I bet if someone started banging on about the social ills of the Black community I'm sure you'd be the first one livid.
Whats the probelm? there are already predominately white cities, Pittsburgh is one of them. Personally I really would not care if the city is occupied by martians as long as when a minority drives through there he/she is not accosted.
Both of my oldst sons were pulled over regularly in Braddock, Pa just for being White, I had no problem with it.
Wow, how long did it take you to research this? Adolph Hitler a white man...11 million people died.
Lets talk about the ethnic cleansing in some African countries, I don't think you wanna go there! Oh, and the murder of White farmers in South Africa by black tribes. Could go on if you like???
