Some areas of the nation do not have even a few black Americans.
Suggest you do a little research on percentages of population for the various ethnic groups in Spolkane, Wash.
You may find that percentages of black people in Spokane is very small----------I do not know.
If so, then it is fair to say that the Spokane Tea Party was representative of Spokane and the environs.
If the same demonstration is in Washington, D.C. there will always be a mix of people per race or national background------Korean, Chinese, White Europeans-Caucassian, Africans, Russian, Polish, European, Hispanic, Japanese etc.
What I find interesting in the D.C. are, which encompasses D.C. Maryland and Virginia, are the number of legal immigrants who have come here in the last 20 years or so who are participating in the tea party movement.
They came here to escape the tyranny of their governments and to live the American dream of freedom and now find an oppressive group in control of the USA.
