I think Steve has touched on this before, and it agrees with my observations: NAMs often find SWPL types grotesque, crazy and pitiful. The emasculated males are a special target of ridicule, as well they should be. NAMs don't hate religious and/or working class Whites nearly as much.

It makes you wonder how long the alliance between SWPLs and non-domesticated NAMS can hold out. The former has an idealized affinity for the latter but hates to deal with real minorities on a day-to-day basis. Maybe the cure for whiterness is to give them the diversity they crave, good and hard.

Portland having created such a high standard of living (limiting sprawl, bike paths, effective mass transit) proves what a great country this could be...if not for the sapping of initiative caused by multiracialism. [btw, The primary impetus for sprawl *is* multiracialism].

It's well documented that multiracialism = general mistrust and lower social involvement; no feeling of community. If no one feels a sense of community, people tend to just hunker down, make their money, watch their TV, and pray that their kids don't get too badly scarred by the Public Schools. And so these kinds of improvements just don't get done elsewhere in the USA.

Multiracialism demonstrably harms quality of life.

Stumpton is riddled with black serial rapists who prey on white girls eager to have a non-white on their arm to prove their non-racism or tolerance or liberalism or whatever it is. While racism is a Portland no-no, misogyny is very hip - as long as it is coming from blacks.

The SWPL males lend a shoulder for the SWPL females to cry on after the latter have been victimized by the NAMs. The SWPLs are dying out though so the end of Portland as we know it is right around the corner. Look for it to be divided between East Asians in gated communities (porn is going to drive the out of Chinatown before long) and a mixed group in a big citywide ghetto. The conservatives / people who want to have families will move across the Cascades over the next decade.

Weather aside, Portland is an utterly delightful place to live if you're a young, college-educated single, for all the above reasons as well as a downtown core where you can stagger home to a reasonably priced apartment in relative safety. About half of the San Francisco arts and music scene decamped to Portland during the late 1990s dot com boom, even while Jerry Brown was trying to lure them across the bay to Oakland.

Portland's lack of diversity means it is less cosmopolitan, less dynamic and at risk of being less competitive than other metro areas

Exactly how would a massive influx of NAMs somehow make it more competitive? It doesn't seem to be doing too badly the way it is.

Oregon also leads the nation in another culturally important category. The percentage of atheists, or more technically, the percent of voters who say "none" when polled about religion.

In 2004, it was 28% in Oregon by far the highest in the nation. In 2008, it was 18% but that's probably due to the sample size.

There is nothing wrong with having a low birth rate. People with low birth rates build wonderful societies.

You just have to make sure *everyone* in your society has low birth rates. You have to make it a point not to let in people with high birthrates.

I don't know why Steve Sailer and the commentators take such pleasure in the idea of whiter people dying out.

(I'm not white, I should I add). I don't like whiter people politics, but I love whiter people aesthetic values. Portland is very pretty and just a great city overall.

It's hilarious how black-white relationships are always characterized as predatory on this blog. Could it be that black men are more desirable (esp. the professional types) than emasculated white men on the coasts? Honestly go to a club sometime and watch the huddled group of white guys who can't dance. There are other factors explaining black men and white women then their "serial rapist" personalities.

"Detroit is last at 8% white(presumably, mostly grizzled Clint Eastwoods yelling at the damn punks to get off his lawn)."

I was born in Detroit and still live near the ruins of that city. Most of that 8% "white" population consists of Arabs and other Middle Easterners who are classified as white by the census bureau but who think and act very differently from the whiter-people who inhabit Portland.

Come to think of it, there aren't very many whiter-people here in the suburbs either. Detroit's suburbs have possibly the most heavily ethnic group of whites in the country. The whiter-people don't want to live around here. They move to places like Portland. Good riddance, I say.

Interesting how the SWPL-types think they need to make their city less white. Apparently they don't like to live among their own kind. This provides a clue as to why they are despised by NAM's: if you disrespect yourself, others will disrespect you too.

I too like "whiter" people aesthetics (i.e., trendy coffee shops, bike shops, Whole Foods/Trader Joe's stores, outdoor activities like mountain climbing & hiking, wine tasting, etc.), but their smug/elitist attitude toward people who don't share their values is really annoying.

Especially annoying is the fact that they try to impose on conservatives their political values as well (pro-gay, pro-environmentalism, pro-multiculturalism, etc.).

If someone keeps smacking you in the face (metaphorically speaking), then it is natural for you to want to smack them back.

"I have this vague impression that Russians are white."

Yes, but Russians are not as white as the whiter-people.

Physically they are, but behaviorally there are some differences. Russians, along with many ethnics, tend to be more ethnocentric and less universalist in their thinking than the whiter-people. In this sense they are a little closer to the NAM's than the whiter-people are, and therefore understand them better.

The interesting part about this article is not the actual article which is typical multi-cult propaganda that can be read at least once a week in the NY Times. The interesting part is the comments section. While there is some pc handwringing, the majority of the comments are not at all favorable to the story or the writer. I guess white guilt can only go so far even in deeply blue Portland.

As a white nationalist, I have to say that the whiteRpeople (SWPL) present a conundrum that I am not sure how to solve. I believe in white supremacy, yet the whiteRpeople are the whitest of all, the ultimate whites, and I detest them.

I especially despise the wimpy, emasculated SWPL males. They have no balls. How can anyone respect them? Oh, but they don't want to be respected, they want to be admired for their superior morality, whatever the hell that is. They make me want to puke.

Basically whites need to behave in a less, um, white manner. We need to be more like non-whites in terms of being more racially conscious and looking out for our own group interests. Others do this, why shouldn't we? If we don't we will die out.

We are too damn white for our own good.

I recently moved to the Pacific Northwest and have spent some time in Portland.

I have very, very little in common with the white people around here. I find them irritating, pathetic, whiny, self-absorbed, and incompetent. They find me abrasive, superstitious, threatening, materialistic, and offensive. These white people are not my ethny. I like people of my ethny and they like me. But American black people are nearly all one ethny. Mexicans are one ethny. White people are actually very diverse, and therefore, white people are hosed.

If one is dismayed to live in the "whitest" core city in America, the obvious solution is to move to another city. Any other city.

The fact that these people stay in Portland (and in fact, many of them have gone to considerable lengths to move there) suggests that their expressions of concern over this issue are largely rhetorical. In other words, it's important, for status reasons, to appear to be concerned, but in actual fact, they're pretty happy with the way things are. (In that sense, it's rather like slapping a "Free Tibet!" sticker on your car.)

Most of these yupsters could easily relocate to other cities. They might argue that the quality of life isn't as high in these other cities as it is in Portland, but to explore this issue more deeply might make them increasingly uncomfortable.

Portland is a great place to live if you are young and single - it's a whole city of bike trails, brewpubs, political protests, and Powell's Books. It's also stupidly expensive to raise a family there thanks to the lousy job market and the high price of housing. Until subprime insanity sent California real estate truly through the roof, Portland was regularly ranked up there with San Francisco as one of the least affordable housing markets in the country.

Seattle at least has a good excuse for being devoid of children: the school district's busing/social engineering program (in short, thousands of white children were bused clear across town if their neighborhood school was more than 50% white) convinced just about every parent with the means to do so to move out of the city in the 80s and 90s. Whoops.

One thing I've noticed about Portland and other liberal, whiterpeople cities (San Francisco, Seattle, Ann Arbor): the bums there are especially aggressive. I suppose this because they are coddled by the local culture and unafraid of the locals in a way they wouldn't be in other, more conservative cities.

SWPL vs. the Sarah Palin crowd.

I am culturally and socially and genetically NOT SWPL. I am Scots-Irish-German. About on the social/status level as Sarah Palin.

Now, the thing about the SWPL and the "Born Fighting" Scots-Irish is the eternal struggle between the effete aristocracy, in whatever form it takes, and the lower classes struggling to get ahead.

SWPL is the creation of a whole host of pseudo-Aristocrats, with pseudo-Aristocratic notions, mostly formed by the dominance of female views/concerns in the status wars.

The "White Trash" or Hillbillies or whatever you want to call people like Palin and myself, we just want to get ahead. Scratch up to better living. More money. If it makes us money, it's good, if it doesn't, who needs it?

I believe that Salt Lake City, or Boise, or Fairbanks, or Anchorage, or Bozeman, or Fort Worth, or San Antonio, have more Palin types than SWPL.

A lot/most of SWPL is due to far too long mating dance, as women prefer to keep their options open as long as they can or want single motherhood by choice, to keep after the few dominant Alpha guys. SWPL men have not caught up (yet) that the way to SWPL women's desires is to be the most socially dominant guy not their gay boyfriend, which is what female society demands of all non-dominant men.

It's a collapsing social culture, brought on by lots of good times (about twenty years sustained good timess -- 1984 to 2004), women as noted delaying marriage as long as they can or eschewing it all together, and the dominance of female culture in the mating process.

That's about to change, with hard times a coming, and Obama making everything even worse. $300 million for contraception in the bailout? Please.

My explanation of SWPL: they can't stand reality and they Hate.

They've junked religious beliefs, but bare reality is so bleak, ever so bleak, they can't stand it. So they have replaced faith in God with the belief in the oppressive forces of Evil White Patriarchy, which is what causes -- the only thing that causes -- the Diverse Better People to behave so deplorably. Of course, not all DBPs are deplorable, so when the SWPL comes across a far right curve DBP he grabs him, hugs him, squeezes him and holds onto him for all he is worth. The DBP will, of course, regale the SWPL with tales of EWP oppression, renewing the SWPL's faith in Humanity, and reinvigorating his zeal to rid the world of EWPs.

Secondly, the more sophisticated SWPL realizes that all is not quite right with the SWPL religion. In fact, he realizes it is a religion. But what recourse does he have? He cannot stand the malice of sophisticated, sentient EWP (ie "WN"). Yes, WN might "true," it might have, you know, "facts" on its side, but that cannot and does not excuse it. He will-not-stand-for-it. Religious SWPL is the only thing going, as far as he's concerned. If you doubt it, just witness the rage, the rage he flies into at the merest hint of racialist reasoning taking place. "Oh, OH, you took your kids out of the public school because [insert reason]? Why I'll show you, you damn white-flighter: here, take a dose of diversity. You're going to learn to love these people if it kills you!"

As a white nationalist, I have to say that the whiteRpeople (SWPL) present a conundrum that I am not sure how to solve. I believe in white supremacy, yet the whiteRpeople are the whitest of all, the ultimate whites, and I detest them.

It's actually quite simple. The SWPL believes that, no matter how "bad" diversity gets, since nothing moral can be done to resolve it, nothing at all should be done, so you just have to learn to get used to it. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to convince him that something moral (as the SWPL would understand it) can be done.

About those children....

Does anyone remember this? Years ago, perhaps in the 80's, or even the 70's, the National Lampoon printed a story in cartoon form, a couple of pages long, about the Last White Child (or something like that, my memory is extremely vague).

The plot, as I remember it, was something to the effect that minority reproduction had been banned earlier (some silly sounding law was mentioned), and white people weren't having any children, and this particular guy was the last child born in all the world. The only image I remember clearly is a whole bunch of middle aged people, including this fellow, sitting along a street unemployed, because for some reason everyone in the world was unemployed now.

And that's about all I remember. I do remember feeling depressed though. I was aware at the time that birthrates in Europe and America were falling rapidly, and I had been wondering how low they could go, and apparently the thought had occurred to someone else who had come up with a worst case scenario. Even though the whole thing was treated as a joke, it seems to me that someone was very far sighted, so I'm wondering if anyone else remembers this cartoon. It would be fascinating to read it again!

The chart accompanying this article is somewhat deceptive. The "metro" category obviously doesn't mean much as it implies that Sacramento or San Diego are "less white" than Milwaukee or Detroid. And to lump San-Francisco and Oakland together really makes no sense.

I fairly well despise the SWPL types, allthough I'd score well on their entrance exam. Their liberal pretensions ruined Seattle, which was a great city. After having destroyed a city by inviting in diversity, they'll decamp from it, with their lame excuses such as "it has bad schools" - never admitting what it is that makes schools "bad" in their estimation.

Is the article Steve linked to serious? Why would it even quote the above? As far as propaganda goes... that's pretty sloppy! You have to be a pretty dumb and/or majorily repressed SWPLer not to experience some sort of mental dissidence after reading that.

I am not sure what is going on with the mainstream media these days. They keep publishing more and more anti-white propaganda but it's having less and less of an effect. They are less subtle and more clumsy then the previous generation which devised the most devious propaganda machine ever. Is the free speech on the internet having so much of an effect? Or is it just part of the general dumbing down of the nation? The anti-white New York crowd and their provincial minions just aren't what they used to be. It's starting to look more and more like Pravda and the decaying 70s and 80's communist version. Maybe there is hope after-all...

P.S. I still find it amazing how the majority of non-whites in the US are so naturally and intrinsically racists.

Some years ago, the New York Times turned its spotlight on Vermont, labeling (or should I say smearing) it as the "Whitest State." I've often wondered if this set off a run on the part of blacks and other coloreds to the hills of Vermont. I don't notice Montpelier or Burlington (no more than towns by most reckonings) on that top-40 list, so perhaps Vermont survived the Times' bullet.

Back in the 1970s, Time magazine did the same for Minnesota, especially Minneapolis, pointing to the Good Life that people were living, in harmony and safety -- and look at it now!

And let's not forget the School that White People Like, Catlin Gabel. Run by ex-Trostkyites (sound familiar) who openly tolerate sexual harassment as long as it is between students, shore up "diversity" at their school by stampeding the children of the workingmiddle class into "community source" to "fundraise" for the children of the lower class. CONSTANTLY assault the self-esteem of the bourgeoisie to keep them down - celebrate the "rebellious" (self-destructive) poor.

There is a particular type of double-bind that is not accidental at all, but is rather a mindf**k tool that Marxian Freudians use to keep would-be conservatives feeling guilty and confused. Catlin Gabel teachers HISS when they say "white male". They hate rich people - who include most of their students.

It's a top-notch School of Guilt to match the Houses of Shame most SWPLs are raised in these days. Make your sons ashamed to be male in the home, "Catlin" will make them ashamed to be white, and to be able to afford to go to Catlin.

"I have this vague impression that Russians are white."

Actually, and I thought Steve was well aware of this, most "Russian" immigrants to the US are not ethnic Russians. "Russian" immigrants are overwhelmingly Jewish, with an admixture of Georgians and Armenians.

Whether ethnic Russians are really "white" people is also debatable. Even beyond the fact that there is a substantial admixture of Tatar and Mongol genes in the Russian population, the history of Russia between 900 AD and 1900 AD was very different than the history of Western Europe. Most Russians are descended from serfs, which is to say most Russians are descendants from the results of 700 years or more of slavery. It's probably not a coincidence, whether you want to blame nature or nurture, that ethnic Russians seem to show many of the same social pathologies that show up in the African-American population - an inability to cooperate effectively and non-violently even with members of their own ethnic groups, trouble with authority, promiscuity, high percentage of children born out of wedlock, much value given to stereotypical "masculine" behavior, etc. But this is more of a problem in a country like Germany, where there are lots of ethnic Russians immigrating, than it is in the US.

Rhode Island, like Connecticut and eastern Massachusetts, has lots of Brazilians who consider themselves white but, as Truth said, wouldn't be thought of as white by most other white people.

Vermont is difficult to move into no matter what race you are. I lived there for five years and never saw a black person outside my college campus. But here in Maine, "the other white state", there has been a noticeable rise in the nonwhite population over the last few decades as our largest city, "the other Portland", has declared itself a sanctuary city and set up programs inviting immigrants mostly from Africa to come and displace the poor whites who were disappearing and leaving vacancies in our apartment buildings. The immigrant populations in two of the Portland school districts have thus gone from single digits to over 40% in the last 25 years, necessitating the construction of brand new schools and the hiring of bilingual teachers and volunteers to help with the language barriers. But most immigrants live in tight-knit communities and Portland and Lewiston; outside there the state population map is as white as the fifteen feet of snow we get in an average winter. And the non-immigrant black population, i.e. typical African-Americans, is probably less than a fifth of the immigrant African population no matter where you go. Here, black generally implies African.

I can enlighten you on the Hampton Roads situation, since I lived there for a time. In a nutshell: What you see in the table regarding the Hampton Roads area is an artifact of Census Bureau methodology that does not reflect the reality on the ground.

The US Census Bureau considers the "core city" of a metropolitan area to be the one with the largest population. Period. In the Hampton Roads area, that's Virginia Beach. The "core city population" in the table is that of Virginia Beach only.

However...

The true core city of that area is Norfolk, NOT Virginia Beach. The largest business and commercial district of the region by far is downtown Norfolk. Virginia Beach, despite recent efforts by its political leaders to create a downtown environment (actually an edge city), is in fact one of the most relentlessly suburban cities in the country.

The Hampton Roads area is not an anomaly if you treat Norfolk as the core city.

Hampton Roads is one of the more sociologically interesting areas in the country in other ways... think PETA meets Edgar Cayce meets Pat Robertson. Literally. PETA's world headquarters are on Norfolk's waterfront just outside of downtown (near the Ghent district of Norfolk, one of the few SWPL parts of the Hampton Roads area). The Cayce organization has its headquarters just off the oceanside in Virginia Beach. Robertson's empire (most notably CBN and Regent University... about as repellent to SWPLs as sunlight is to vampires) is headquartered in far western Virginia Beach, well inland.

Just realized something: It's the red-blue paradigm in miniature. The blue institutions (PETA and Cayce) on the water, and the red institution (Robertson) inland.

Truth,
in London, at least, a higher percentage of blacks in a local population does not just mean more assaults simply because there are more black people in that particular population. It means that the overwhelming majority of rapists will be black (or from other Ethnic minorities) and the overwhelming majority of the victims will be white.

Google some London news stories and you will get the picture.

Rhode Island, like Connecticut and eastern Massachusetts, has lots of Brazilians who consider themselves white but, as Truth said, wouldn't be thought of as white by most other white people.

That area also has a substantial number of Cape Verdeans, Portuguese-speaking like the Brazilians, who for the most part are considered black by white (and other black) people but who don't think of themselves as being black. They have their own group identity that isn't racial.

Actually, and I thought Steve was well aware of this, most "Russian" immigrants to the US are not ethnic Russians. "Russian" immigrants are overwhelmingly Jewish, with an admixture of Georgians and Armenians.

Whether ethnic Russians are really "white" people is also debatable. Even beyond the fact that there is a substantial admixture of Tatar and Mongol genes in the Russian population,.."

You may well be right that most russian immigrants in the U.S. are non-russian. I've heard it said that most of the russian mafia were actually jews.

However I would not agree with your contention that russians, because of Tatar and Mongol ancestry, are not russians. While many russians do have such ancestry (Boris Yeltsyn had that appearance about him), many do not. Also, hungarians and finns are partially of turkish descent, but we don't consider them turks.

Yeah. The Cape Verdeans got some bad press back in 1983 when they gang raped that white girl on the pool table at Big Dan's in New Bedford, MA.

All the Cape Verdean bar patrons took turns. Bruthas gave it to that smart mouth white girl, big time.

Jodie Foster made a movie of it. Strange, though. The bar patrons cum gang rapists weren't Cape Verdean blacks in the movie.

All white guys in the movie.

Wonder why. Maybe an interracial gang rape wouldn't have gone down so well, I guess.

Evil white guys, OK. Jodie gets an Academy Award.

But a bunch of rampaging black bucks?!?!?

Hell, Jodie make a movie like that, she be rode out of Hollywood on a rail!

This article failed to mention one of the main reasons for Portland's whiteness, an accident of nature. In 1948, a massive flood of the Willamette destroyed Vanport City, a Portland suburb that was then Oregon's second largest city and home to blacks who had moved to work during WWII. Whites wern't hospitable to flood victims, and many left. To this day, you can hear local blacks strangely claim the flood was a big conspiracy.

About those children....

Does anyone remember this? Years ago, perhaps in the 80's, or even the 70's, the National Lampoon printed a story, in cartoon form, a couple of pages long, about the Last White Child (or something like that, my memory is extremely vague).

The plot, as I remember it, was something to the effect that reproduction by non-whites had been banned (some silly sounding law was mentioned), and white people weren't bothering to have children, and this particular guy was the last child born in the whole world. The only image I remember clearly is a whole bunch of middle aged men, including this fellow, sitting along a street unemployed, because for some reason everyone in the world was unemployed now.

And that's about all I remember. I do remember feeling depressed though. I was aware at the time that birthrates in Europe and America were falling rapidly, and I had been wondering how low they could go, and apparently the thought had occurred to someone else who had come up with a worst case scenario. Even though the whole thing was clearly meant to be offensive and funny (typical National Lampoon style), it seems to me that someone was very far sighted, so I'm wondering if anyone else remembers this cartoon. It would be fascinating to read it again!

"Russians, along with many ethnics, tend to be more ethnocentric and less universalist in their thinking than the whiter-people."

By "whiter-people", I assume you mean Westerners. If so, then yes, you are correct. Russians are clearly alien to Western civilization and do not share its cultural values.

From a physical perspective, ethnic Russians are probably, on average, more white and blond than most other European and European-derived people.

My guess is that testing99 is half-Jewish. He describes himself as Scotch-Irish and German. The German part may well be Jewish.

I have a friend who is half-Jewish and describes himself as being of English and German ancestry. The "German" part is actually German-Jewish.

The rape you are referring to, which was the basis for the movie “The Accused,” involved members of New Bedford’s Portuguese community. It was heavily publicized, and the trial was televised, at least locally. I also remember members of the Portuguese community coming out in defense of those accused of the rape. They were claiming the victim asked for it. Some of the accused I believe were deported back to Portugal.

From http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_v36/ai_3230920:


"Nevertheless, thousands of people have demonstrated locally in support of . . . the convicted rapists. These large demonstrations reflect a moral and cultural conflict that has been surfacing in New Bedford and Fall River and on Boston call-in radio talk shows. In the local Portuguese neighborhoods, which are highly 'traditional,' it is the woman victim who is widely regarded as guilty. She should have 'been at home,' it is said. Her very presence in Big Dan's at that time of night to buy cigarettes and a drink, or several drinks, was enough provocation. Local women have been much more severe on the victim than local men: 'She should have been hanged.' The woman who was raped stepped outside the protective boundaries of locally acceptable behavior."

They weren’t Cape Verdean and it was generally known at the time they were not from that community.

Minority residents can feel left out, unable to easily find a hairdresser, a radio station that resonates, a church that feels like home, says Vicki Nakamura, who helps employers recruit and retain minority professionals

That's a nice capsule description of why co-ethnics cluster geographically, for reasons that have nothing to do with dejure or defacto segregation. The fact that having a hairdresser, church, friends and family nearby might influence a housing decision for a minority person toward a minority-dominated area seems to never occur to most white people.

US Census regularly trots out their "most segregated city" index and the media follows up in shaming cities like Chicago, Milwaukee and Cleveland, while ignoring the fact that places like Portland aren't segregated because there aren't any NAM's to speak of.

This is what I can tell from googling:

The Accused (1988 film)
en.wikipedia.org

...Based on the real-life gang rape of Cheryl Araujo that occurred at Big Dan's Bar in New Bedford, Massachusetts on March 6, 1983, this film was one of the first Hollywood films to deal with rape in a direct manner...

Cheryl Araujo
en.wikipedia.org

...Cheryl Ann Araujo (1961-1986) was an American rape victim whose case became national news, and was the basis of the 1988 film The Accused. Araujo was gang-raped at age 23 by four men on a pool table in a tavern while other patrons watched but did not interfere. During the prosecution, the defendants' attorneys cross-examined Araujo to such an extent that the case became widely seen as a template for "blaming the victim" in rape cases. The case also raised tensions between the Portuguese-American community and other ethnic groups in New Bedford, as the defendants were Portuguese immigrants. Her case was widely known as the "Big Dan's rape" after the name of the bar in which the attack occurred...

Truth,
I would say that the majority of convicted rapist in the UK are BMEs despite that fact that they make up up only approx 10% of the population.

There are no official statistics of course but I remember a report from around 15 years ago that said Afro-Caribbeans were 25% of convicted rapists. I also remember a leftie saying that the report 'tells us nothing'

Of course. Really the internet is all powerful and white people keep statistics on just about everything, so look harder.

"but I remember a report from around 15 years ago that said Afro-Caribbeans were 25% of convicted rapists."

I remember the tooth fairy leaving a quarter under my pillow, but without a photo, I'm going to have a hard time making you believe this.

You then go on to mention that 'we' are now 25% of convicted rapists, a few posts back we were 'an overwhelming majority. Either two different people are making this argument or one of us is not good in math.

For some mysterious reason the British state finds itself very reluctant to release statistics on the racial demographics of crime. Odd, because one can be absolutely certain that the relevant data is being collected.

You would find it hard to do a 'Color of Crime' survey in the UK using published sources. However, we do now have a freedom of information act. That might the window through which a chink of light breaks.

The British state is very eager to extol the manifest virtues of a multi-racial society. Virtues so manifest that no-one seems to get around to actually making a list. Unpleasant racial myths about crime could be so easily dispelled just by releasing a few boring tables thereby silencing those evil racists once and for all.

No doubt the relevant minister is just too busy with other things, he (or she) would love to do it, just can't make the time. What a shame!

The Portland area's nearly half-million people of color often get the message that their concerns are an afterthought...

What does it say that a city of only 2 million with half a million non-whites is considered "overwhelmingly white"?

It says we're in trouble. Because we're going to be hearing racial grievances from now until kingdom come.

But American black people are nearly all one ethny. Mexicans are one ethny. White people are actually very diverse, and therefore, white people are hosed.

Keep in mind that whites are the most diverse racial group in the country - every ethnic group, every level of intelligence, from all over Europe, in very large numbers, at different times (some as early as 1607, some as late as this morning).

Seattle at least has a good excuse for being devoid of children: the school district's busing/social engineering program...convinced just about every parent with the means to do so to move out of the city in the 80s and 90s.

You think that wasn't deliberate?

Judge Garrity, in contrast, is the patron saint of Swipples.

Judge Garrity the Boston federal judge - the one who integrated Boston City schools but conveniently left schools in the burbs (where his kids went) untouched?

Mentioning Judge Garrity reminds me of the respected academic Christopher Lasch, whose final 2 books - "The Revolt of the Elites" and "The True & Only Heaven" - were quite prescient about the issues commonly discussed on iSteve and VDare.

Russians are descended from serfs, which is to say most Russians are descendants from the results of 700 years or more of slavery.

At one point half the people in Europe were serfs (though it didn't continue as long as in Russia). That's one of the things that annoys me about those who keep talking about how Jews were persecuted in feudal Europe - everyone else was mistreated, too.

I hope that at least a few of the Oregonian's "overwhelmingly white" readers had the common sense to cancel their subscriptions after reading this. Somehow I doubt it.

But a Google search does reveal a nearly 5% circulation drop in just one 6 month period last year - well ahead of the deepest part of the recession.

Perhaps Barack Obama's stimulus package will include a few ten billion for all the left-wing papers that are about to go belly up. In fact you can almost count on it.

As a postscript, The Oregonian, I see, is owned by the Newhouse family, which is Jewish. Might I guess that we'll never see an article in The O talking about how media ownership in this country is "overwhelmingly Jewish"?

I suppose the important point wrt the whiteness of Portland's core is that it's almost exactly as white as the rest of the suburbs and the metro area. It's not that the core is some all-white club, it's that the whole place is really, really white. Shouldn't that be a plus? That Portland is so well-integrated that there's no difference between the regions?
