Heaven forbid I forget to check Spokane's census data before making a comment on Reddit. You're being an ass over a quick road trip recommendation.

Dude, what the fuck is your problem? He is a person of color, he is concerned about safety in places he is visiting. As an immigrant, I understand that. Also, just spewing off BS at him doesn’t help. There’s lots of fusion cuisine/ taco trucks - that’s BS, that doesn’t help him. The reality is we had rallies and convoys of trump loving neo-Nazis here, so I wouldn’t say it is overly safe for someone who is a POC. Population wise, I know 2 black people and 2 Hispanics, plus the staff at the Mexican restaurant we go to. This area is not a cornucopia of nations. Racially is it 88% white, don’t paint it to be the United Nations, with people singing kumbaya in peace together.

Maybe you should've specified that you were only talking about Spokane from the start. I pretty calmly pointed out that other parts of Eastern WA have higher Hispanic populations, and you just keep coming back with "not in Spokane!"

Chelan County: 28.7%

Grant County: 43.1%

Walla Walla County: 22.6%

Franklin County: 54.1%

Benton County: 24.0%

Feel free to look up the rest of the counties. I'm done here.
