You left CT and are now in OR? Wow! I felt that the West Coast was far less black than the East Coast or Midwest. As a person from New Haven, would you agree with that observation?
Absolutely. My bf is Mexican-American and he's darker than 90-plus percent of the people here. Portland is very white.
I'm originally from Branford, though, which was a lily-white suburb of New Haven when I was growing up. In my childhood there were I think 2 black families in a town of 10,000.
