WA is full of Asians. You claim it’s not diverse?
- jessepasley 3y agoI've heard Asians are 'white adjacent' so maybe they don't count?
- defrost 3y agoI've heard there are more than one type of Asian - more even than two types. More even than just the Sama-Bajau and Minangkabau. Who'd have thought, hey?
- czbond 3y agoDoes "diverse" just mean "not white"? If WA mostly "whites & Asian" then no - it is not diverse.
- PessimalDecimal 3y ago> Does "diverse" just mean "not white"? In many cases, yes, it basically just means this. That's even a reasonable de facto definition for that term as it's used today, in any appearance without further qualification ("diversity of thought" e.g.)
- bushbaba 3y agoGenerally diversity means multi racial, ethnic, cultural not just “more than white”.
- LoFiSamurai 3y agoBellingham is not particularly diverse, no. Bellevue on the other hand is incredible.
- red-iron-pine 3y agoMostly Gringos and a few Natives, predominantly Lummi Nation
- 11217mackem 3y agoWashington is not diverse. The state's Asian population does not rank in the top 5 in the nation.
- shrubble 3y agoI stated Bellingham, you may not have ever spent time there, but certainly it has grown as former Amazon people decide it is a nice place to be (it wasn't diverse when I was there).
