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.

“Aregone.” Nice.

If the hispanics ever take it over, it could be Portland, Aragon.

When I was in Portland I had just crossed a street when on corner I had left, a guy got up out of his wheelchair to beat the crap out of someone who was daring to beg on his corner, I felt more concerned walking around Portland than I did in areas of downtown L.A. that I considered bad.

Whenever you hear of a violent crime in Portland it is a safe bet it is in a “diverse” part of town. Gun crime stats follow that dotted map almost 100%.

Good points. Today’s media narrative is whatever whites do is racist, whatever blacks do is justified.

Seattle is pretty white but there are some surprising twists.

2010 Census Estimates

2010 Population Count: 608,660
Race:
White - 69.5%
Black or African American - 7.9%
Amer. Indian & Alaska Native - 0.8%
Asian - 13.8%
Native Hawaiian & Other Pac. Islander - 0.4%
Other race - 2.4%
Two or more races - 5.1%
Hispanic or Latino ethnicity (of any race): 6.6%
Persons of color: 33.7% (whatever the heck that is supposed to be!)

What this doesn’t say is that 18% of the population is foreigners - a mix of eastern Europeans, Asians and middle-easterners.

That depends on who’s on the ballot. Al Gore got 90% of the black vote in 2000.
Black voter turnout as a percentage of eligible voters exceeded white turnout for the first time in history in 2012.
If Latinos were to turn out in proportion to their percentage of the population, they would go from 10% of voters in 2012 to 17% in 2016 which could more than make up for any reduction in black voter turnout.

That’s not true for Asians. They have higher median household incomes ($66,000) than whites ($57,000) and all other minorities.

Isn’t Portland the city where a Trader Joe’s wanted to locate a new store in a black hood and was told by he community they were not wanted because it wold cause whites to move into the area?

90% White and Asian.

That'd be about right.

No longer Burnside, think its MLK Ave. Grew up in Clark County, WA in the 60s. We had one black student in my entire high school class. Outside of the old Burnside district, the city of Portland was lily white.

Think I was wrong. Back in the day it was Williams avenue that was pretty much the black area of Portland. Burnside black population developed after I left in the mid 60s.

Liberal White idiots probably piss me off more than liberal idiots of other colors.

A definite understatement. The lil darlins also manage to live in their privileged and often low-crime White areas free from “die-versity” while lecturing the rest of us and imposing their twisted and hypocritical policies down our throats (and up our asses, or both). Seeing as HUD now intends to step up their hard-core fascist “integration” edicts, they should drop their “die-versity” bombs smack dab in the richest, Whitest leftist areas. See the snobby White Socialist *ucks react by making your average 19th century bloodthirsty Klansman look like Phil Donahue.

Three words describe this perfectly:

Boston forced busing.

The white liberals that forced that on Boston lived in the chi-chi lily white $$$ suburbs like Wellesley. They didn’t have to deal with it, why would they care? “NIMBY”, as they say.

Liberals are THE BIGGEST hypocrites going.
