re: #223 HappyWarrior

You know, I think Ziggy Tardis or whatever his name was had some crazy ideas but I don’t think he was necessarily wrong about the idea of having Muslims and others settle in red areas. Now, I disagreed with the motivation. He saw it as a means of turning red areas blue but I see it as people actually meeting people who are different. That way, your first thought with Muslim becomes less ISIS or terrorism but your neighbor or that guy who has that great restaurant or something like that.

Funny thing about my wingnut cousin - when I talk about immigrants or blacks, he say, “I live among these people”, but I looked up the demographics of the town where he lives. 98.97% white, which means in that town of 3000 people, there would be about 30 people IN THE WHOLE TOWN who aren’t white. It works out to 2 black people, and 8 Hispanic.
