Never.

However, San Francisco is a complete joke when it comes to racial issues. We pretend to be progressive because we would never say the n word, etc., but we are a disaster when it comes to things that really matter. For example, there is only one elected African-American male in the entire city (including board of supervisors, school board, college board, democratic central committee, etc.)
