I found a page saying it's Portland, 2nd place is Phoenix and 3rd place is Oklahoma City, what's really the most racist city in the country?

I've heard that Boston is pretty bad, but I'm sure there's no possible way to quantify something like this.
Man, I wanted to go to Portland. Didn't know it was racist. I thought it was super liberal and chill.
by city do you mean any municipality or do you mean a "city" in the sense of a big city (i.e. tens of thousands to millions of inhabitants) rather than a town?
By racist would you also include racism by minorities against whites and against other minorities or only racist in the sense of white people being racist against minorities?
Eh, you could look at stuff like wage gap, incarcerations or arrests, percentage of black students in highschool or college compared to actual percentage of black people in the city... All these things wouldn't actually quantify racism though, would they? Just the correlation between colour and poverty. You could argue that the data demonstrates white privilege, and argue that that is systemic racism, but it's not going to quantify explicit racism like, say, the refusal of service to black people, or how much the N word is said. I doubt that would be quantifiable at all.

I think he meant Portland, Maine, not Portland, Oregon.
I live in Portland, Oregon and it is not a racist city.
There are no racist cities. There are racist people and they are found among all races and in all cities.
The only people getting caught up in all this racial tension in the US are people who watch the corporate sponsored, brainwashing mainstream media. Most of the various people I know have no racial issues
Exactly....................according to most of the news, nearly everything that anyone does in some way shape or form is "racist", when anything you do is possibly racist, we have reached the endgame and that word is no longer viable.
Mainstream media is toxic, I prefer alternate sources of information! You do however have to question EVERYTHING, but at least independent or alternative news gives you a more balanced and un-bias perspective.
@jun_aka_pekto: So a Canadian city is more "racist" than most American ones, quelle horreur!
@lucianocasanova:quite frankly I don't know. If we're considering all municipalities that is too much, it would be easier to confine ourselves to the major metropolitan cities.

Or maybe he meant Portland, Connecticut. But liberals can be racist too.

Kind of hard to find a specific US city being singled out. However, I have heard of Winnipeg from expat Canadians who moved to my hometown in Nevada. It didn't take much to do a quick Google search.
My hometown doesn't mind Canadians. Hell. They even let Canadians join the 4th of July parades and fly the maple leaf (alongside the Stars and Stripes).
