- icey 17y agoI presume by "arguably" you mean "I have a bizarrely distorted worldview and therefore I'm going to assert this fact that I have just produced from the depths of my colon."
- kingkongrevenge 17y agoNo, actually it was the articles about white flight from California I've encountered over the last few years.
- icey 17y agoAnd the reason those articles stated was that people were leaving for "whiter cities"? I think that's a stretch. The last I heard a lot of people were leaving California because the white collar jobs were leaving California. As I'm sure you're aware, there are more white people working white-collar jobs, so maybe that's the reason, eh? If those articles said that people were leaving because California wasn't "white enough" or whatever, I'd love to see them.
- schammy 17y agoLOL, well I wouldn't call that a "reason", but yeah, it's white as fuck here. I have no idea why, but that's the way it is.
