Portland remains overwhelmingly white

The upshot is that the Portland metro area is startlingly white viewed against the national landscape -- even whiter than Salt Lake City, according to the latest Census Bureau estimates. Metro Portland includes Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas and Clark counties.

The implications are far-reaching.

In today's America, people of color make up more than 40 percent of a typical metro area's population, an analysis by The Oregonian shows.

But in metro Portland, public policy still is controlled from a white point of view. Among the hundreds of mayors, city council members and state lawmakers representing metro Portland, there are just four Latino city councilors, one African-born council member and a lone African American state senator.

Portland's lack of diversity means it is less cosmopolitan, less dynamic and at risk of being less competitive than other metro areas, worries David Bragdon, president of the Metro regional government.

Wonder if the crime rate is dramatically lower, too? Less 'dynamic?'

I saw some real estate, construction, and engineering shows about Portland. It truly is a mostly white city. It is great to see a city like that still around in the United States. The price of real estate is very high, even in the downtown area, and that is what has kept the minorities out of that city. Land value is the only way whites can have their space without being surrounded by foreigners. Just like all white schools stay white because the parents have to pay the tuition out of their own pockets. The only worry Portlanders have is the white left wingers that live there. White left wingers are always spoiling white domaine with their incesstant calls for "diversity" and they just will not leave well enough alone.

See what I mean. This queer thinks whites need blacks, latinos, pakis, or whatever, to be "cosmopolitan and dynamic". Again, this queer political corrections officer thinks whites need other races to succeed.

What he may also be suggesting with his comments is an all white city is less attractive for industries that are looking for cheap labour to work for them. If this what he wants to turn the city into then he would have to compete with dumps like Miami, Chicago, and the rest of the most "diverse" cities. A word to the not so wise: a white bastion has its own attractiveness to high paying tech. industries, pharmaceuticals, media and info., finance, education, management, conferencing, green tech. development, etc. Who needs the dregs when one can have that?Edited by: Maple Leaf

In Bragdon's illegally blind eyes, whites are not "cosmopolitan" and only a rash of robberies, murders and other vices can make anything "dynamic". As for the "competitive" angle, you don't need racial and ethnic quotas to make a city one. New York City is becoming largely cosmopolitan, White and dynamic and heavily competitive. This douche-bag is only saying what his owners tell him to say.

Since all humans are equal and race is a social construct with no biological basis and we judge by the content of one's character how exactly is bringing in the browns going to improve anything? After all, everyone's equal, right? Right???

I don't know how any thinking person could swallow this Marxist double-think. Our enemies don't know when to quit and that will be their ultimate undoing.

I would love for all of these people who are anxiously awaiting the day when Whites are a minority in this country to move to Rhodesia or South Africa. They'll be in bliss about being lorded over by savages for maybe three minutes before they won't have any time to figure out what hit them.

I guess Rome or Tokyo has to let blacks, Mexican, etc in to be good cities. Was London bad when it was all British, or Amsterdam bad when it was all Dutch? What is, or maybe now, was good about European cities was that they were homogenous.I still feel more comfortable in Euro cities, even though some are changing now. They have much better mass transit than our cities and you feel like you belong when taking it. It's not just for low income people.European leaders want to turn their countries into the US with it's diversity. I think most Europeans don't want it.


Unfortunately,many hi-tech and other jobs are being stolen and shipped overseas. The companies don't even need white Americans. They just want cheaper labor.


I wouldn't want to live in at least 70% of Chicago. Even the mass transit is not that good. American citiies are a failure in general. Look at Miami, it's 50% foreign and that doesn't even include the American blacks.


Whites have to live in the burbs and be tied to cars. Even the burbs are changing. Mine has many ASians, mexicans and blacks.

That statement is so perverse, it's not funny. Our government is just loaded with these brainwashed twits.

This is so typical of the liberal / nonwhite mentality -- they've done NOTHING to create greatness where it exists, but when they see greatness elsewhere they arrogantly and stupidly think themselves entitled to share in it, and if you don't want to share what you earned with people who HAVEN'T earned it, you're a racist, a bigot, a redneck, an idiot...

This is just like when dumbwads around the country all of a sudden thought they should be able to attend college just because they capriciously WANTED what other people earned. And now college degrees are watered down and basically prove nothing. We've got BAs and MAs who can't write a simple sentence or solve the simplest algebraic equation.

Hey, why don't we just start printing more money, because the have nots are jealous of the haves. The idiots in this country own the mint, anyway.

Some people won't be happy until the entire country, and not just most of it, is a slum run by muds.

 

[white is right]

All this means is wages will be higher for bottom end workers, there will be less violent crime and in a sad note you may have to search for greasy rib places and exotic foreign food that will give you running belly the next day.....
