We are in Michigan, and you can't help but notice how many people in crowds speak Spanish and act like they are not from here.

I was visiting Connecticut last year, and it's eerily similar. I doubt RI is any different.

This is interesting. I moved from Seattle to rural Kentucky and it is like Seattle was in the 60’s, racially. It’ pretty much all white people with the occasional black person. In fact, the only “hispanics” I ever see is when I go to the mexican restaurant.

I notice this in the Louisville Costco too. It’s like the world was a few decades ago. Mostly white, with a smattering of black, asian or hispanic, but only a smattering.

When I go to my old Costco in the seattle area in Tukwila, whites are a minority.

I’m really glad I chose to retire here. I like a little cultural stability in my “home” world. If I want cultural diversity, I visit somewhere else.
