Couldn't live in lily-white Boulder.
In my neighborhood community pool, I'm known as "white-chocolate THUNDER". (our pool has BB goal, 
)
With no diversity in Boulder....Boulder/Diversity are strangers. I guess the US Snooze/Whirled Report dis-regard "diversity". How 80's.

Sorry to disrupt your lily-white Nirvana, MB.
It's not my Nirvana, Savvy. I get why it's a great place to live. It's one of the most beautiful cities you'll ever see. The flatirons are so gorgeous they look fake, more like art installations than mountains. The parks, lakes, hike and bike trails, high end shopping on Pearl Street, yeah I get it. But it's also super expensive, wealthy, and you're right, very very white. Hell, even the buskers on Pearl are organized and maintained. I've never lived there, but I worked there long enough to know Boulder's not my jam.
I'm the son of a TV repairman, a working class kid from Montana who now lives in north Denver, where white people are a minority, where green chile is its own food group and Mexican families too large to count fill parks every weekend, not far from where jazz and the smell of soul food fill the air in Five Points, where I play softball on a field where Jack Kerouac sat in the bleachers and wrote On the Road, only blocks from bars where Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis played.
Yeah, I get Boulder, but I take Denver every day of the week. Cool about your basketball skills.
