They speak for a small minority of hatred and nothing more.

By state.


NJ - I bet would be very interesting as would NY. And from what I understand - parts of California.

That would be interesting ... and very unsettling.

Before we bought our house last October - I made my husband (owns a home near Rutgers with several apartments in it) move in with me in an 'our apartment' because I've been to that rodeo before . . i.e. living in a man's house when there is wealth disparity at the personal level!

It was very interesting to see how the high number of recent immigrants interacted with each other - in Bridgewater NJ.

I'd like to see a poll about how recent immigrants from India feel about living next door to recent immigrants that practice Islam. Some eye opening stuff at the pool last summer.

Or - how black Africans feel about living next door to black Americans that descend from slave. That's a real eye opener.

Or here's one - how folks from Poland feel about living next door to Chinese, Japanase, South Korean Immigrants.

Me? I'm a Heinz 57 so I just like observing it all.

Even the colors (red vs. blue) are correct

...especially the ones that used the shades of purple, and go county by county. I suspect those might come close.

because they receive more in transfer payments than most working people in 3rd World nations.

Thanks ... I feel better about "less than 4.9%" of people that say they would not like to have me as their neighbor. (even if I believe the survey to be accurate ... which I don't.)

But you know what I was getting at ... (Just in case) Comparing what is going on in the US to what is going on elsewhere in the world is irrelevant to any conversation about what is going on in the US.

country with a large under-privileged population is the 1%.

I thought the Japanese were very xenophobic.

to poll respondents that there is the possibility of a person of a different race moving in next door.

They (at least the older of them) certainly seem to like to protect their own culture, but I never got the impression that they necessarily fear or dislike outsiders. Having an outsider next door is probably fine, just so long as they don't force their otherness on the Japanese culture. At least that's my impression. And, the younger generations strike me as being far more open to non-Japanese culture. Just look at how much they are into all things American.

Me, I'd like my neighbor to be a French couple who would educate me on fine wines, great food, and on the other side an Italian who would share his knowledge of pasta making and opera. Instead I have one who flys his American flag upside down and has a fair-tax sign in his yard and on the other a guy with two boats, an SUV, a carcass of a jeep he's restoring and a zip line for his home-schooled kids.
