I am white...in fact I am so white, it's GLARING. My ancestors in the not so distant past owned slaves.

I am also a 7th+ generation North Carolinian.

What I mind in Oregon is the ignorance of the racial inequality of that state....the ignorance of the history right back to ohhhh say...1995.

I mind the bliss ninny horseshit that passes for liberalism in that state.

As far as the Japanese businessmen are concerned; I used to cringe when they walked into my bar...no matter how good service I gave them, they tended to pull that misogynistic finger-snapping attitude with me...glass houses nothing. They treated women like shit in the bars--and yes...that is a generalized statement.

I wish I had the inclination to look up stats in Japan about women being sexually harrassed--but, I am not in the mood.

It's pretty obvious that you want to gloss over statistics..whatever. As far as staying where I am; I will...thank you very much. At least in the South there are people willing to take racism and our history head on, as opposed to the Oregonians that want to pretend like it doesn't exist while the number of hate crimes continue to rise.
