Accurate. They had a huge influx of Hispanic immigrants. White people went to the suburbs.

Yeah, it's definitely accurate.

Probably going to drop even further as the last elderly white homeowners left hanging on there die off.

Yeah, classic white flight. The town even passed laws to try to force the mostly Dominican immigrants out. It is a bit of an extreme example. But also the population had been declining from 1950 to 2000. It was a coal town, and well the coal industry hasn't exactly been thriving. Immigrants tend to congregate locally. Boston didn't get full of Irish immigrants or Amish country full of Amish by random.

A question from a conservative christian about a drop in the white population somewhere. Yeah, this isn't sketchy as fuck or anything.

Like, a lot of stuff about sailing but then also such specifically tone deaf/dumbass posts in a whole mess of different subs. Like, posting about “violent tribes” on a Native American sub and then complaining about the very healthcare system their conservative politicians have destroyed.
