the sixth whitest state
You conflate the ethnic makeup of the city they flee with that of their destination state.
In contrast, New York state as a whole is predominantly white, while I would guess that Boise is the most diverse city in Idaho.
- ajross 7y agoYou're right. I should have looked it up. Here: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_percentage_of_white_population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b... Boise is in fact the THIRD whitest city in the whole country .
- masonic 7y agoYou're misinterpreting your source. Putting aside the qualifiers that the dataset[0] is specific to cities with population above 100K and that it's a decade old, the counts include Hispanics and whites together, which is obvious from Laredo, Corpus Christi, and El Paso all being in the top 8. In other words, using your source, Boise is all of 1.3 percentage points whiter than Laredo, Texas.
