New Hampshire is 94% white. It is now trying to figure out how to change that

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Catalina Celentano used to hold training sessions for hospital workers in Lynn, Mass., to familiarize them with the cultures of patients from Cambodia, Russia and the Dominican Republic. When she moved to New Hampshire, she suddenly found herself in an ethnic vacuum.

“I went from being able to speak Spanish every day to not speaking Spanish at all because there wasn’t anybody to speak Spanish to,” said Mrs. Celentano, who was born in Colombia to a Colombian mother and Hungarian father. “The only person I spoke Spanish with was a cleaning lady and she moved back to Colombia.”

New Hampshire, like its neighbors Vermont and Maine, is nearly all white. This has posed an array of problems for new arrivals, who often find themselves isolated and alone, without the comfort and support of a built-in community.

It has also posed problems for employers in these states, who find that their homogeneity can be a barrier to recruiting and retaining workers of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds.

The issue prompted about 100 business leaders, government officials and members of nonprofit organizations to meet Thursday to search for ways that New Hampshire — which is 94 percent white — might lure other racial and ethnic groups, as well as younger people.

I respect and honor diversity in state-level diversity makeup—and see no reason for it to be artificially changed.

Another example that of the Liberal agenda to change the ethnic composition of this country. This shows a hatred that this is a white country. So who are the racists?

Imagine a state that was 90% Black, and someone having the audacity to complain about it and present a plan to reduce their numbers to half or less of the population.

Welcome to our plight in 2018.

This has post civil war racial discrimination written all over it.

The person who came up with this, should be shown the door, and leave with a boot-print on the seat of their pants.

But artificially changing it is the whole plan.

Looks like a problem for this one person and the NYT.

Not much of a problem for the rest of the state.

Maybe and hand full of “Virtue signalers” feeling the need to be “Culturally Enriched”.

Maybe they could put some of their white people up for exchanges on Craigslist?

Also—there’s not enough housing for new people, but the old people are dying off. I do believe any potential problem is already solved.

Mrs. Celentano, there is an extremely simple solution to your inability to find Spanish speakers in New Hampshire. You are a bright woman, so I think even you can figure out a solution. I'll give you a hint: The web site for Avianca (en Colombia Español for you) is here.

Clearly there’s not enough cultural chaos (diversity).
