13. I lived in CA in a relatively liberal area and ended up with a large number of RW religious bigots

living right in my neighborhood unbeknown to me when I picked that area thinking most of CA was fair and liberal back then. I sure agree with you, miscegenationists and similar can be found all over the place.

I think some areas are more prone to this, but one sure can't guarantee an absence of bigotry by state borders. I've also known liberals they were liberal in their own interests, but bigoted toward the rights of others.

And many often think the Midwest is all filled with RW bigots and the like, and it's far from the truth. Some areas are, but other areas are far from that.

MSM often hypes a lot of this by tagging parts of the country as this or that, making it sound like every person in that area is a carbon copy.
