I grew up in that area and was there when he was elected.  I am so very ashamed that he represents people from Iowa.  On the other hand, that kind of naivete (lack of exposure to other cultures, ways) is 100% standard in western Iowa.  I grew up in the 80's but it was like I grew up in the 50's (really).  It's a pretty closed society.  You don't stray far from what is expected.

How is it that people who have never been exposed to diversity are so scared of it?  I grew up in a pretty all white setting (semi rural California in the 70s - farmworkers were pretty segregated). But every little hint of a bigger world out there was fascinating to me, not threatening. [/quote]

White woman, raised in Iowa (jr. high and high school), graduate of ISU, married to a brown Muslim, proud mother of mixed children. Doing my best to make Iowa homogenous, one brown baby at a time. [/quote]
Haha! That's what I was thinking. We can achieve a mixed race homogeneous America. Wish the interviewer had pressed King on that. ?[/quote]
