Texas women mocks Virus/Dems/socialism - Then reality hits

[deurbano]

61. I only spent my first two years (and many family vacations) there... but

the place where I actually grew up-- Bakersfield, CA-- is also roundly mocked. (Including by me!) But to be fair, the place I've lived the last 40 years-- San Francisco-- is constantly trashed, too ("fruits, flakes, nuts", etc.)... just by a different set of mockers. When my (then) 16-year-old daughter was on an Alaskan cruise with her grandmother last year, a woman from Florida felt compelled to tell her she felt so sorry that my daughter had to live in SF. (The most outspoken people seem to have the least sense--and common decency--and my daughter was too polite to respond in kind.)

Speaking of my daughter, she was recently accepted at Wake Forest. Probably will stay in CA for college (since we've never even visited any of the East Coast colleges she got into, and that's impossible now), but any impressions? The college itself seems very cool, but the student body doesn't seem very diverse... and maybe somewhat conservative?
