(18,312 posts)except that people who live in areas that are not heavily populated with white, evangelical, christian neighbors may not be as socially isolated as this poll would represent.
When I lived in Central washington, I think a more apt line of questioning would be:
Have you ever been invited to a neighbor's daughter's quinceniera, or BBQ celebrating Guatemalan Independence Day?
Have you ever picked vegetables or fruit by hand, for pay
Have you spent time at a rodeo in the last year
Are any of your neighbors adept at playing a Guitarron Mexicano?
Living here in the PNW, specifically my neighborhood, questions would be
Have you spent time at a friends' wedding that involved a traditional vietnamese tea service?
Have you eaten Pho in the last year
Have you visited a dragon boat race in the last year
Do any of your neighbors speak Marshalese, Samoan, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Urutu, Somali, or Amharic
So I guess this quiz relates to when I lived in Florida, or SOuth Carolina, or other places, but for where I live now, and the people that I associate with and live near, my Ethiopian neighbors next door would probably score the same as I did, and I hardly think they are in an isolated bubble
