OT, then I will stop. Not factoring in other minorities, Philadelphia has never been majority black.

Right, I never claimed "majority" of any race. Just largest number of minorities.

Adding up the numbers, Philadelphia has been a "majority minority" city for at least two decades now. The two largest racial/ethnic groups - whites and blacks/African-Americans - have traded places as making up a plurality of the population over this time period. Right now, whites are slightly more numerous than blacks.

The crime thread has nothing to do with race or bashing the city.


If that's how some are taking it, they should look in the mirror and ask themselves "Who's the real racist?" and "Why does the existence of this thread drive me insane?"
