What? You're looking at the average for the entire state.
When I was in downtown Cleveland, the concentration of black ppl was more than a third, at least. That's just what I could see with my eyes. Forget about census forms and w/e.

There. Cleveland is 48.8% black, 12% Latino, 4.4% mixed, 40% white.
I didn't find that when I was there. ppl in Ohio didn't seem to be any more or less racist than anywhere else in the Blue States when I was there.
They were quieter about it until around 2016, now they're all emboldened or some shit and sheer numbers are having it rub off on their neighbors.
It's seriously embarrassing.
Absolutely. The same thing happened in the little Canadian oil town I lived in during the Bush years.
Actually, I think it's all part of the Post 9/11 Douchebro phenomenon.
Male grief and uncertainty, real estate bubble popping, financial ruin, all at a time when Cons/Republicans have bought most of the formerly liberal media outlets on the continent.
These guys have been brought up to believe that they'll own the world some day, and then when they don't, they can't bring themselves to go after the Trumps and Bushes and Gettys of the world who brought them to their ruin. Oh no. They have to blame some poor Asian guy, or some female relative that some weenie like The Golden One has them all convinced was rlly responsible for their misery. They think that more misogyny and calling everybody a Karen is the answer to their unemployment issues, and that running over random women on the sidewalk makes a guy a 'supreme gentleman.'
Like srsly, these assholes need to get over themselves :P
On your side of the border, it's the same set of causes, but the legacy of slavery has given the asshole segment of your population a different target for their misdirected rage.
I didn't find that when I was there.
ppl in Ohio didn't seem to be any more or less racist than anywhere else in the Blue States when I was there.
Except for PA. ppl in PA were strangely racist for Blue State residents.
Some crazy lady aimed her gun and started screaming about how she would shoot me bc I was walking with a black kid. Fucking weirdo had to go and make it about some imagined sex I was not having with the kid lol
Northern and southern alike, Americans are all pretty much just as crazy as the next one when it's about their guns.
They have some unusual commodity fetish objects anyway, but their guns are the strangest, imo.
A gun is a tool, like a cooking pot. You use it to feed yourself.
It's not an extension of your penises, you silly dears lol
IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE LMAO
Is it far from NYC or Chicago?
You can fly to Chicago and get one of these greyhound buses for like 20-40 dollars if you're on a budget.
