Boston’s city council is getting a new look: its first female majority and a more racially diverse lineup than ever before.
Voters on Tuesday elected the council’s first Latina. They also voted in a slate of female candidates.
Starting in January, the 13-member council will have eight women. Seven councilors will be minorities, the council’s most ever.
Asian American city councilor Michelle Wu says it’s the “new face” of Boston politics.
Voters also rejected a ballot question to change the name of Dudley Square in historically black Roxbury to Nubian Square.
SNIP
The council was a white male bastion for decades, but Boston is now a “majority minority” city where whites comprise roughly 47% of the population.

Funny how an area or a school can be “historically black” and that’s just fine. Want to keep something...anything “historically white”? RACIST!!!!
You forgot college students.
Of course, they are mostly Asian, not white.
Political "White Flight".
Who cares what color of skin or what kind of plumbing they have? Insofar as I care about anything Boston-related I care about what policies they will enact.
Ask whites in South Africa how this has all worked out
The question is how long will it take them to turn Boston into Detroit or Baltimore?
“Working class whites started to flee in the 70’s when they did forced busing.”
That’s a fact.
The glee in that article by the AP at the banishing of whites is palpable. They’re bursting with joy.
“New York drivers were aggressive. Boston’s were insane.”
I thought that was an exaggeration until I went to Boston on business. My God, they are nuts!
Who cares what color of skin or what kind of plumbing they have?
Because non whites and women of all colors almost always vote liberal?
As Carlin said, "Anyone who drives slower than you is an 'idiot', anyone who drives faster than you is a 'maniac'"
Whites are ignorant to the war being waged upon them.
Give the newbies a chance to learn how to be real corrupt and incompetent Democrat leaders. I suspect that they will be just as successful at that as their predecessors are/were.
Ben Carson? Diamond and Silk? Margaret Thatcher? Phyllis Schafly? Ayn Rand?
How about we see people as individuals rather than fall into the leftist trap of seeing them only as demographics? Better yet, why don’t we find a way of making conservatism more appealing to those groups rather than just writing them off?
“Ben Carson? Diamond and Silk? Margaret Thatcher? Phyllis Schafly? Ayn Rand?
You are picking out examples.
I have worked in employee benefits for 35 years and have dealt with thousands of mostly female HR staff with white collar, blue collar and conservative and liberal co’s.
I can tell you from 35 years most women are liberal or lean liberal. Even conservative ones tend to lean liberal on social issues. FACT
Again, that tells me we need to find a way to make conservatism appeal to groups outside of white males, not just write them off. Defeatism does not win elections. Whites will not be the majority in America forever and no amount of tinkering with our immigration policies is going to change that. We need to start thinking about how to make *everybody* recognize that conservatism is in their best interests and we need to start NOW, not after whites become the minority.
Great. . .another great city with history is now circling the drain.
My daughter and husband just moved TO Boston after years living in an affluent suburb.
