    I am from the East Coast but what I find surprising having moved out here to Puget Sound is how much Chinese immigrant labor in particular built the west and how much that has been whitewashed away to “cowboy white guys built it”.

    Thankfully this is a region that hasn’t completely forgotten how much it owes to indigenous and immigrant peoples, it is a landscape of ports and I think that lends itself to a healthier society than large landlocked stretches where people are never exposed to anybody who isn’t like them…

    Will people only understand when it is too late that diversity is what gives you strength and that pushing for homogenity in times of perceived crisis is at a certain point an indistinguishable process from cancer?

      They despise one of our most beloved symbols: E Pluribus Unum.

      It’s gross the way they’re rewriting history with garbage.
