Race/Ethnicity 80.5% are whites; 2.9% black; 0.9% are American Indian or Alaska Native; 4.9% are Asian, 0.3% are Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, 4.1% are some other race, 3.3% are two or more races. The Hispanic or Latino make up 8% of the total population.
2.9% black in a population of 647,805. That's nothing for a major city. You could probably go months without even bumping into another black person in Portland. If you wanted to, you could move to one of the numerous areas in Portland where they don't have any blacks and live your entire life without ever having to encounter one.
That was my point, you have these radical leftists that pretend to stand for "diversity" but those type of people always seem to live in the wealthiest and least diverse areas.
