Trevor Noah was making a joke about how white Oregon is and said the black population in Oregon has a big swing depending on whether the Portland Trail Blazers are playing at home or on the road. Funny because the picture they showed of our team then heavily featured Plumlee.
 
Oregon is only the 20th whitest state. (In order) Maine, Vermont, West Virginia, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Iowa, Montana, Kentucky, Wyoming, South Dakota, Idaho, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Utah, Pennsylvania all have a higher percentage of white people.

Those are some white ducking states to be whiter than Oregon. I bet "Oregon Outside The Willamette Valley" would be the whitest state period.

I guess you've never been "outside" then.

Noah should look closer to home to make implications of racism.

Oregon has 3.6% mixed race citizens whereas NY has only 2.4%. This clearly suggests we are far more accepting of the melting pot concept than bigoted New Yorkers ever will be.

NY hates American Indians (having slaughtered most of them over a hundred years ago), only attracting 1% per capita whereas Oregon has 1.8%.

NY hates Hawaiians to the point that Oregon welcomes 4 times as many to live here.

NY must hate veterans too, as we have twice as many per capita.

Where do you get that he was implying racism? Saying that the state is white doesn't mean that he say that the state is racist... You make some weird comments sometimes...

Maybe it's changed since I lived in Klamath Falls for eight years. I remember there being 45 white kids in my grade from first thru sixth, with one black kid who was there for three years and one half-native American kid who was there for three. The rest? Lilly fucking white young republicans. Living there was a formative, negative experience in my life.

I didn't see the show. I wonder what point he was trying to make?
 
I would not infer he was saying white = racist.

I would however infer he is implying white = bad.

Why else would he make a big deal out of it?
 
The Daily Show is still on?
Oh well. Another reason not to get cable.

Finally, NJ does not end up in a negative stat.Thnx
 
the one with the fewest hungry people

I would guess Florida where all the retirees abound. I would venturet o say all thoes tiny pomeranins with the annoying sqeekbox bark are the highest percentage.

Would that make him an official "token"?

It has certainly changed, I think I'm about 10 years younger than you? When I was going to high school about 9 years ago it was about 25% Native/Hispanic, and about 5% various other non-white groups. We even had like 5 black kids!

Obviously still a lot of white kids, but it's getting a little bit of color now, and with the gentrification of Oakland, we're getting more black people here, so I'm sure that reflects in the schools (I obviously haven't been in one in a while, so I can't confirm).
 
Portland comes in at #13 for largest Vietnamese population in the USA!

Because if that government building was taken over by black men, people would be reacting differently. And that is true.

WAIT?? The gentrification of Oakland is causing some black ppl to move to Klamath freaking Falls???

I'm not talking about thousands of people, but I see at least several black people everyday, and I've lived here all my life, so that's a newish thing for this area.
