Ahhh I stand corrected! I've never been to Winooski, no wonder I've never seen another POC.

Vermont's black to white ratio number lol

Vermont is also the whitest state in the country. There's all of like 10 black people in the whole state. If one is imprisoned, that's like 10% of the population lol

Also hyperbole obv, but the state actually is the whitest, I believe it's like 97% white? And then all other races share that last 3-ish percent.
