Nic: I wish North Idaho was less white

Nic (RE: Mary Lou: No finer place): "It would be nice to have wider variety in ethnic restaurants. But that's hard to do in a place that's not a fair expectation of a city that's 93% white. On that note, I'd be happier if North Idaho was less white. I can't stand the open racism that's festering in our community. We may have eradicated the Aryan Nations, but the kinds of people who would gladly join them still inhabit these parts."

Question: Do you wish that North Idaho was less white?
