Portland is Not a Decent City

I'd like to start by qualifying my opinion of Portland. I grew up in Austin, went to school in West Texas, lived in Summit County, CO for 5 years, lived in denver for 5 years, and lived in Japan for a year and spent a season in Antarctica. I've traveled all over the world and have seen some really unique and "weird" places. Trust me, Portland is nowhere nearly as "hip" as I was lead to believe.
The only thing "weird" about Portland is its complete lack of character. Just because you recycle and have a "Free Tibet" sticker on your dirty car doesn't make you a hippy. It makes you annoying.
The in-your-face political correctness is nauseating. Everyone spouts about "diversity acceptance", but what they really mean is - We accept you if you're a caucasian, secular, gender-bending jobless freak.
Portland sucks. Can't wait to leave.
