The racism isn't very underlying if white women get shamed into giving up their livelihood.  It seems quite overlying to me.

But racism TOWARDS white people isn't actual racism. The SJW set will tell you that only white people can be racist.

And Portland is about the most liberal city in the US. Which just shows you that no amount of purity ever meets with the sanctimonious demands of SJWs.

It does seem that mixing cultures is not the goal anymore. It's protecting from those nasty white people. 

In any context it would be pilloried as segregationist.

If by mix you mean take...not care to learn the context....put it in a doggy purse for status display to your bourgeoisie circle then sure......mix away.

Portland is certainly not the most liberal city. 

It's the capital of White supremacy.

So you are just going to go in circles then. 

Only if you go with me.  Or we could both stop, and not change our minds or anything.

You don't see the irony in disagreeing with me about Portland being so liberal by quoting a headline which refers to 'super progressive Portland'?

Your article is an opinion piece from a student in New York who talks about Oregon's racist past history, and then, with absolutely zero evidence other than that he personally encountered racists when he was in the suburbs of Portland, calls it the 'white supremacist capital' of America.

Backwoods Idaho, not suburban Portland.  Other than being in the same corner of the country, I have no idea why anybody would tar Portland with that brush.

Sounds like a triggering incident to me. And better make sure anyone who makes Swedish meatballs has the correct ethnic heritage and is cooking within the proper cultural context. 

Well, I am now feeling extra-triggered after discovering that the character Brunnhilde the Valkyrie will be portrayed as an African woman in the upcoming Thor movie. They have taken a character from Norse mythology and turned her into an African. This seems like exactly the kind of cultural outrage that people were upset with when Scarlet Johansson was cast to star in "Ghost In The Shell", or when Emma Stone was cast as the Hawaiian woman in "Aloha!"

If anyone needs me, I will be in my safe-space until I have had a chance to cope with this.

......I wouldn't call it supremacist unless by supreme you just mean overly-represented.......Portland exudes "caucasianess".

.......how many actors in Thor, besides Stellan Skarsgård, are Scandanavian again?  I think the offense would be Sir Anthony Hopkins portraying the All-father first.

......actually that reminds me....Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a good adaption of culture......they even let Stellan Skarsgård bridge the gap.

Don't the First Nations have their own basic cable channel that everyone is forced to subscribe to? 

One channel compared to the many Sweden has.
