Cool!!
"lily-white Seattle" is a perception only shared by folks on capitol hill...
"lily-white Seattle"?
Have you been south of the International District lately? Or ever?
I have to agree with @1.
You guys really need to leave the Hill sometimes.
And I don't just mean West Seattle, I mean Rainier Valley, and lots of other places that are Seattle.
Have you been north of the Montlake Cut?
Seattle's a lot whiter now than it was in the 1980s.
most of the old school residents of the cd and columbia city moved to skyway, fed way, kent, and renton.
i agree with most. the seattle i know is not lily white.
Quickies, not Stickies!
Just to throw a little data on the subject.. Seattle is over 70% white according to the 2000 census.
By comparison:
San Francisco: 49%
Denver: 65%
Dallas: 50%
Portland, OR: 77%
Portland, ME: 91%
Baltimore (go Os, hon!): 31%
New York City: 44%
Oklahoma City: 68%
Overall U.S. white population: 73.9%
Here's a nice map of whiteness by congressional district.
Wow - those mustaches are stupendous!
You're my hero Mr. Hecht.
this is the coolest post on the slog ever.
When a friend moved to Seattle in the '80s, complaining about the local low-riding culture was ALL he EVER talked about. Since he wasn't the most reliable source, I figured he was being insane, as always. Guess not. I missed it by the time I moved there, apparently.
What's wrong with being white? You folks racist or something?
"Not having a lowrider doesn't not make you a lowrider. Not having a lowrider makes you a lowrider. It comes from inside, man."
@11 Ditto.
That must've been some phone tree. Kelly, I love you for this.
