In the above picture of Portland, Ore., from Dustin Cable's breathtaking Racial Dot Map, each blue dot represents a white resident counted during the 2010 census. The city itself is about 76 percent white, making it the whitest big city in the U.S. And diversity has been dwindling in the neighborhoods close to the center of town, as minorities have increasingly moved out to the city's edges.

Well, “So, What?” has gotten out asses kicked. Kick back instead of thinking you are better by taking “the high road”. That road leads to ruin as it has.

Growing up across the river in Vancouver, you could have fooled me that Portland is the “whitest city”. Especially if you ever drove down Burnside.

That must be interesting.
We have some absurdly liberal relatives, including a niece who has a gofundme site to pay for her upcoming wedding. None of them lives in Portland, except in spirit.

Gee, I would have thought it would be Seattle.

Maybe they count Asian as non-White?

Seattle is very, very White.

You have to go on a major expedition to find somebody who's not white.

Will the WaPo being running a tut-tut article about Atlanta and Detroit?

I mean after all...they aren’t very diverse.

Bus in Whites and give them free housing!

After all, it was their ancestors who founded the country...can’t we give Po’ Whitey a little bone?!

The map means nothing....even if you accept the pretense....all it means is that Portland hasn’t had as many surrounding suburbs incorporate into their own cities.

Portland = Multnomah County

“Overwhelmingly White” city/county last voted GOP for President in 1960.

Watch as it moves from mainstream to an 80% Democrat loony-bin over the years...

1960 = 50.5% GOP <-—last majority
1964 = 33.5% GOP
1968 = 43.9% GOP
1972 = 46.7% GOP
1976 = 44.4% GOP
1980 = 39.2% GOP
1984 = 45.2% GOP <-—last above 40% “Morning in America”
1988 = 36.5% GOP <-—last above 30%
1992 = 24.2% GOP
1996 = 26.3% GOP
2000 = 28.2% GOP
2004 = 27.1% GOP
2008 = 20.61% GOP <-—bottomed out, how low will it go in ‘16 ?
2012 = 20.65% GOP <-—Willard the RINO’s “moderate” appeal nets him .04% higher vote than McCain (or 131 votes)

I think we are more likely to see 2004 numbers particularly that Blacks aren’t as likely to come out to vote in 2016 presidential election.

Gee..the minorities all voted for the cool black guy! Next time they ought to vote for Kim Kardashian and that nasty faced husband of hers. Won’t that be cool?

Actually these numbers tell an awful tale. The minority voted themselves the majority’s money.

Portland, I spent a week there once, and just like the week I spent in San Francisco it left me with a burning desire to never ever return. Both are filled with fruits, fruitloops, addicts, and crazies to the extent that anything positive about the cities is beyond my caring.

What is the big deal blacks have about wanting to live with whites? They can do it... it’s the law, but what’s the big deal? I don’t get it.

To the left, it is OK to be white, as long as you are voting for liberal Democrats or those further to the left than that, and advocating their policies.

Conversely, according to the left it is NOT OK to be black or hispanic and voting for conservative candidates and espousing conservative policies. In their eyes, they become a ‘race traitor’ when they do that.

The news at the link you posted was my first thought as well.

It’s extraordinary that these types of articles continue to be orchestrated and there are soo many rubes that can’t make the connection.

A brave new world indeed.
