Seattle, one hopes, is still green and bookish
Seattle has its own racism problem unfortunately
If you think Seattle's race relations are on the same level or even close to any red state then I sincerely doubt you've ever left Seattle or been to a red state.
There are racist people literally everywhere but not everywhere makes a culture out of being racist.
I lived in Texas most of my life. I wouldn't say race relations in seattle are as life threatening as they were capable of being in Texas but I would say racism is just as common.
Against any particular group?
From my observations, and from what I have been told from people of this group in seattle, mostly african americans. You'd have to hear from other marginalized groups for more info as I am not familiar with their experience. It's less of the explicitly violent and threatening racism you see in the south and more of the "you're so articulate" style of racism. Lots of pearl clutching and car door locking if you know what I mean.
Isn't this just universal in America? This sounds like liberal racism, not republicans
Yes but it is particularly common in the PNW
I feel like if you think Seattle fits the description of around trees that you just haven't ever been around trees before lol. It doesn't mean a couple sadly embedded in the sidewalk it means like as far as you can see
Perhaps you think I meant south of Lake Union. Understandable mistake. In north Seattle you can't sneeze without getting a tree wet. I spent most of my time in those parts.
I grew up just north of Seattle in Bothell only just recently moved out to the coast bit south of Aberdeen I have learned the meaning of tree lol. If I stand the top a large elevation I struggle to find buildings my vision is nothing but trees and Hills I feel like that's more what the post is talking about.
I live surrounded by tree as far as the eye can see in all directions, it's very much republican County though lol
What is this conversation? Seattle has trees. It has really good parks. Is this treemogging? It's obnoxious.
I was going to move to Portland but I hear it's a war zone lol
Yeah? Sounds like that's where people on the right side are needed, then.
Portland is a great city. I've been living in the UK for almost 4 years now and I've never been to a bookshop as good as Powell's, and the food there is at least twice as good as it ought to be, for what they charge.
