I'm a "data nut" and I love unique views of large amounts of
   complicated information so whether or not I might agree with
   implications of a particular view of data, nevertheless it
   always catches my full attention. == at a quick glance, I do
   already. Even though I'm politically independent yet lean very
   strongly towards the idealism of the White Liberal Areas, I grew
   up in New Jersey and learned to deal with the reality of living
   with a mixture of populations and found most of it was no big
   deal while *also* recognizing why people tend to congregate in
   their own "groupings" as well. We had an apartment building in
   town that was mostly East Indian. They made it their own and
   that was fine. Yet, we also had other people that work to "do
   the American dream" thing and assimilate with the general
   culture. So, i don't hate ideas that point towards a "keep like
   with like" concept, as people do it anyway [evidenced by the
   white liberal sections of your map] even though I'm generally a
   pluralist (is that the right word) at heart. Diff strokes for
   diff folks. I'll check out your site. To me, it seems to be a
   more thorough view of alt.history from a unique perspective yet
   isn't full of hyperbole. [i can't stand hyperbole to "make a
   point". You're just presenting ideas and facts from your
   perspective. Seems reasonable for one to do so and your approach
   is civil] = Well, they *are* hate facts as they are facts that
   can also be used for someone to pursue a hate agenda - There's
   no denial that there is such a thing as hate fueled rhetoric
   from every side of the political spectrum. To even DECLARE an
   "ideology" of some kind automatically means "You prefer
   like-with-like" even if your ideology group says they don't. ==
   Ah - well then Sean gets my credit then. Even if I don't agree
   with an article, I like when its well written. It had some very
   strong points though that I do agree with though. It's why I
   take well written articles over lopsided hyperbole: there's
   always some takeaway points of agreement even if the end is
   disagreement with the conclusions.==
