    You know this how?
    I'm sorry...you can't know that...and the rep is more because of the vocal morons like the ones written about..
    It in no way makes them the majority...you're still generalizing.

      I know that from the years that I've gone up there, have had many friends attending school there, lived there, etc etc. This isn't including the news stories that have happened.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          And seeing it firsthand (read: the part of the years I've gone up there). I know you're gonna stick your ground, no matter what, so I'm done here.

            Yeah I'm gonna stick to it...cause again...i actually live here currently.
            But again...you will generalize...while claiming you aren't.

                          What would it take for you guys to admit that St. Cloud is more racist on average (accounting for population) than say the metro area? There’s plenty of evidence to suggest there’s institutional racism in the schools at the very least. I don’t know the numbers for sure but I’m willing to bet there’s more hate crimes per the population than in the metro area over the past couple decades or so.

                            Facts...meaning actual proof...not just stories or anecdotes.
                            And even if it is more than the metro...that still does not prove the majority is racist.
                            Again...the generalizations are my issue.

                              And I thought all profs were raging Marxist libs.

                              There we go, generalizing again.

                                What do you suggest? A poll?

                                "Excuse me, sir, are you racist?"

                                Huh...100% of respondents said they weren't racist. Guess that settles it.
