Last I heard she had plans to sell it to a home for unwed minority women.
I have never seen a lot of predjudice here around the Boise area. When people hear my accent (being from the South) they sometimes assume I am predjudiced against minorities.
The only real and present predjudice I have observed in SW/SE Idaho and Southern Oregon since 1989 is that against Mormons.
i.e.: Mormons are sneaky
Mormons are tight with a dollar.
LDS is a cult.
Mormons have sex with their daughters
etc
