Living In Portland, Which Is A Predominantly White City, The Privilege And The Luxury To Be Able To Obsess Over A Certain Kind Of Minutia, That I Think, If You Did Not Have That Privilege, Would Never Be Bothersome. When People Are Worried About Whether "local" Means 100 Miles, Or 50 Miles, Or 10 Miles From A Grocery Store, I Just Think, "wow. What A Privilege It Is To Have That As A Major Concern In Your Life."
