Boo! No, don't move to Colorado! It's terrible here! Too much snow! White people all the way to Nebraska! The views are over-rated! Skiing is too expensive! Beer is all just hop-juice or Coors! Terrible food! Nothing but Papa Jonh's and stoners! Stay Away!

What's wrong with white people?

  I think they're just being sarcastic and saying as many things as possible to scare people away from their beloved state, by throwing out a bunch of stereotypes about it.

  I think they might have been sarcastic there, but I wouldn't want to live in a neighborhood where white people were the supermajority. I grew up outside NYC and live in New Haven now and I get totally freaked out by rural areas where you don't see a black person for weeks. Just feels off.

  I'd say it goes hand in hand with the bit about "terrible food". OK, "terrible" is hyperbolic, but I'm specifically avoiding places that are as white as snow because of food. I'm looking at moving, and one hard requirement for me is that the suburb I'm moving to have an Asian population of at least 15%, specifically for food-related reasons. I live in the northern suburbs of Dallas, which have fairly high Asian populations. I want a large amount of Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, regional Chinese, Indian, etc. food wherever I live, and if a place is 90% white, I'm not going to get that. I'd also like a Hispanic population above 15% too because I love me some tacos, but I'm willing to forego that as long as a nearby suburb is >15% Hispanic. I've narrowed down my search to the suburbs of Los Angeles and Las Vegas; specifically, Torrance (or Irvine) and Spring Valley, respectively, and ethnic makeup is one of my most important criteria.

  For real though, trying to find a good California roll or a doughnut (Voodoo is alright) is nearly impossible. I gave up on sourdough bread.

      Sushi Zamai on Spruce St. in Boulder is also good (or it was 10 years ago). My understanding at that time was Sushi Den and Zamai shared the same cargo plane for their daily fish deliveries.

  As a Texan transplant, trying to find any bbq or Mexican food that isn't chain or slop, is hard!

    I like the BBQ at KT's out on 75th (good while on a bike ride). There is also good BBQ in 'downtown' Louisville that is owned and operated by Texans.
