I would argue that prior to the commonality of Starbucks the general place of meeting was libraries and post offices. Post offices, of course, being assailed by the demise of social projects. Libraries these days are pretty much where the white people aren't. Try it: if you wanna see what the demographics of the 50% are in your neighborhood, go to the library. My neighborhood is startlingly Somali and Ethiopian.

I would also argue that Starbucks hates black people.

Years ago, wandering through Perris, CA, I came up with the hypothesis that if you're having a hard time finding a Starbucks, you're also having a hard time finding white people.
