Greetings from Trump's America: Town of Windsor, New York, where the population is 96.8% white and high school students recently held a "Gangsta Night"


The population of the Town of Windsor (5,804 in 2020, a 7.5% drop from 2010) is overwhelmingly white.


New York Times, 3/24/2022
A quarter of a century later, students in Windsor seem to still have similar interests, but now they live in a post-George Floyd world, with a heightened awareness of race and diversity in larger cities and on social media. This is why when images of “Gangsta Night,” a student-organized event at a basketball game, surfaced online this winter and spurred a local debate as to whether they were racist, many white residents here seemed surprised and defensive, while people of color in town interviewed for this story were insulted, and yet not surprised at all.

In November 2020, Trump received 59.1% of the vote compared to Biden's 30.8%.  Just over 10% voted for third-party candidates
