According to wikipedia, Rumford, ME had a population of just over 6,000 (in the 2000 census) and averaged 98.67% white. So, now thanks to a pair of Sudanese (refugees? asylees?) they have gained some of the vibrancy only diversity can bring to a small boring American town.
From the Sun Journal in Lewiston, ME* (the Somali capital of Maine!), two arrested for trafficking cocaine:
RUMFORD — A man and a woman from Portland were arrested early Saturday on charges of trafficking cocaine.
Michael O. Okot, 25, and Reaksmey C. Tang, 18, both of 155 Anderson St. in Portland, were charged with trafficking in schedule W drugs.
According to an arrest affidavit by Rumford police Cpl. Lawrence T. Winson, the two were arrested during a traffic stop Saturday just after midnight and found to have marijuana, crack cocaine and a digital scale.

Okot and Tang were transported to the Rumford Police Department without incident and then to the Oxford County jail. Okot’s bail was set at $30,000 cash, while Tang’s was set at $25,000.
*Lewiston is about 40 miles from Rumford. You can thank the US State Department and Catholic Charities for the diversity they’ve brought to the old mill towns of the Pine Tree State.
Legal immigrants sure can liven up a dull town!
Wasn’t it just last week that federal refugee contractors were testifying before the State Department and pontificating about diversity being beautiful and now to prove it we have this morning three examples of ‘diversity is beautiful’ from Maine to Louisiana—food stamp fraud diversity in Louisiana, terrorism diversity in NYC, and now drug-dealing diversity in Maine! Wow! Can you feel the vibrancy?
