Terrifying exposition of the fundamentally ant-democratic bias of the Portland elite.
I particularly liked your note of the agonizingly curated representation in pictures.
I understand that in the 1960s to grow up never seeing an actor or a cop who looked like you, if you were Black, could be very discouraging, but that is hardly the case any longer. One example I find depressing are the casts of new versions of old TV shows; STAR TREK in particular, which had a 50-year history of genuine diversity.
Now? Not enough... so in the version that REALLY is shorthanded at STD (meaning "Star Trek Discovery") they have managed to purge every single white, male, straight character from the show. I don't mean some, I mean ALL. Transgender characters are about 20%, and the only white cis man in the show is under layers of makeup as an alien.
Lipstick on a pig.

British TV series are on the cutting edge of woke...there must be a mathematical formula for inserting certain races.
Like many I really like DR WHO, and the showrunner (Chris Chibnall) has ruined the iconic TV series.
