A traveler spends 15 days on the West Coast and barely sees a single Black person: 85% are Hispanic
Is the United States the melting pot that movies sell us? The experience of a Spanish tourist who traveled through California and Nevada thirteen years ago suggests otherwise: over fifteen days, he barely saw a Black person – a homeless man – and most of the population was Hispanic. In Las Vegas, the proportion of white people was higher, but in the rest of the Golden State, Hispanics filled the streets.
The segregation that doesn't make it into the guidebooks
According to the account, Black people rarely leave their ghettos – or are not allowed to leave – and the few who do appear show up in marginal contexts. An incident in a bar, where some shady-looking Hispanics stepped in against some Black men trying to scam the tourist, reinforces the idea of an ethnic divide far more rigid than what is officially acknowledged.
Mixed couples: myth or reality?
The question in the title finds its answer in direct observation: white women with Black men are only seen in run-down cities, and Black women flee the men of their own race. One participant sums it up with irony: "Black men run away from Black women; a race-mixer is the cheapest thing in society." The prevailing view among the travelers consulted points to interracial relationships being rare and, when they do happen, usually carrying low status.
The human 'low cost' wins out
A final comment sheds light on demographics: nature has opted for the "low-cost human being." The Hispanic, barefoot and eating the worst food, is happy and reproduces without restraint. "Unbeatable in terms of natural anthropogenic neoliberalism," he declares. The white demographic catastrophe, in short, is not a hoax, but a trend you can feel on the street.
