Portland, OR and people of color

Nov 21, 2005 18:28

So I want to move to portland. Anyone who knows me knows that this is my goal, but where are the people of color? I really don't want to live my life as the token black in a lily white landscape. I know that the west coast in general tends to have a large asian populace which I am extremely grateful for, but I like living in places with lots ( ( Read more... )

Hopefully that link'll work for you, but if not, I'll go through and filter some of the communities you might be interested in.

For what it's worth, there's a very large GLBT community in Portland (or so it would seem by the amount of Oregon LJ communities geared towards that). I imagine it would be at -least- as diverse as Columbus, if not more. I'm just going off the assumption that artsy folks are of all walks of life, and Portland is very artsy, though.

You might even want to check into some areas of Canada. Toronto was an awesome place to visit (I don't know about living there, though). I also hear a lot of good things about Quebec and Montreal (how's your French?). Then there's always Hawaii ;D

Otherwise, how's life treatin' ya? I miss hanging out with you. Things have been very lonely lately, hehe. I hope everything's going well, and that things have gotten easier for you and your

Things are generally going well with my mom, but I am beginning to realize that I am sick of being in the middle of my mom and my brothers. Sometimes I think that we all have problems and that we don't know how to communicate. No that's wrong I know that we don't know how to communicate. The only real communication growing up was do as I say, don't get pregnant (or don't make someone else pregnant), and don't bring home a disease. Otherwise everything else was just life experiences. We are all so self-centered that it's obnoxious. Did I mention that everything is okay with my family? I think that I need to vent my frustration. Oh by the way, I'm trying to plan a visit to columbus in january or february so I hope that I can see you then because you are greatly missed. I am annoyed that I can see the things that are wrong but I can't fix them because no one wants to listen to me or anyone else for that matter so i've decided that maybe I can't fix things. Maybe I should stop trying to fix things. You know i've never ( ... )
