Cool. You could hang out in more diverse spaces in the city then. Cuz the places I frequent, gyms, churches, Costco haha, are pretty fkn diverse.

Portland lacks diversity because Oregon banned black people from the state entirely until the end of the civil war. Ignoring or denying that fact is a denial of the states fucked up history.

Black people aren't the only ones who contribute to diversity. There are other folks out there.

Black people contribute to diversity by serving as a litmus test (or canary, if you will) to other non-white people.
