The “others” should be bussed in and given housing and food right away for Diversity.

[BenLurkin]

“Few of them acknowledged the racial motive behind white flight, that words like “freedom from crime” were code for moving away from blacks.”

Pathetic the Feds are trying to destroy this county.

Are the all black counties being forced to ‘integrate’??

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Diversity = Anti-White Racism

Diversity = The Ku Klux Klanning of Whites

The lack of diversity is an issue for Marin.

What kind of issue? Clean streets, safe neighborhoods, decent schools?

[Fedupwithit]

..and as the busses pull in, everyone there will pull up stakes, and make another 'Marin County' somewhere else...

All the power to them for doing it too.

[BenLurkin]

And make the rich lefties actually have to live with the deleterious consequences of their asinine policies? Not a chance.

[skeeter]

Too white = an evil to be corrected at any cost.

But when has anyone heard of there being too many of any other color, anywhere?

Tell me again there's not some form of ethnic cleansing at work here.

I find it interesting that Hispanics are never counted as being white *except* when it comes to crime statistics. Then they are counted as white.

Folks I live in Sonoma County just north of Marin County. It may be all white but it is one of the most liberal counties in America. I doubt 10% of the people that live there Republicans. Just a guess.

“Where the white women at?”

From the article:

...Marin County is the least diverse of them all.

And Detroit is.....what? "Where the black folk are"?

[Texas resident]

Marin county didn’t happen by accident. It is OUTSIDE of San Francisco. Duh. If Marin is conqured, those that built it will move on to a better place and make it their own. And it is not all white. It is wealthy folks of all colors who don’t want to live in a slum while paying confiscatory taxes and being vilified for not giving more of their “fair share”. It may be called white flight, but more and more it is flight of folks who want to give their kids a better life.

Hmmm ... Must have been a lively meeting.

Which slogan to go with?

"Marin: It's Just a Little Out There" or "Marin County: Come to Where the White Folks Are"?

[FrankR]

This argument is as much of a non-starter as the whine about "prison populations being disproportionally black".

Well, Duh....they don't put them in there for being good citizens, ya know.

Everybody has got to live somewhere, and from the past 50 years I've noticed that when integrated groups gather for picnics, sports, etc., it's ALWAYS the blacks who move off to themselves.

If you're white, try dropping by a black nightclub over in the 'hood one Saturday night and see what you get.

The left has mastered at finger-pointing, accusing others of the things they are famous for doing.

With the way the militant blacks are acting, I would look for birds of a feather too, for safety, if nothing else.

A friend is a radiologist in the Bay Area and considered moving to Marin County from Hong Kong. After attending a party in Inverness, he said the whining of the native Californians drowned out the sound of the surf along the Point Reyes National Seashore.

They are white enough to have their own Tea Party.

Truer words were never spoken about Marin. The people there were always railing against the State when Reagan was governor but somehow problems were never the fault of Jerry Brown when he took over.

[Pearls Before Swine]

The lack of diversity is an issue for Marin.

Yeah it is an issue. It's a positive selling point. Hey Marin, don't mess it up!
