You've yet to hear a compelling case for it because you don't listen to anything and you shun anything that goes against your beliefs. You're a shut in bigot, pathetic

Definitely do not need more Dunning–Kruger poster child conservatives like you. Why are you so scared of big, diverse cities? You realize that places like bumblefuck, nowhere that you live in don't make the economy turn, right? If you had things your way, we'd be living in a truly awful place.

Yeah, so crazy to bring up one of the most (if not the most) important factors of immigration. You brought up several large cities in your other comment as if they are shitholes. They're the places paying the bills your state government generates. Your homogeneous society isn't prosperous at all is my point. The most prosperous places in America are also centers of diversity. Also, all states are majority white (and most, by a huge margin). Do you know how to google? And absolutely, have lived in one and plan to return to one as soon as is practical for my situation. I can say, without any reservation, that living in the city I never felt unsafe, was surrounded by far more intellectual peers, and enjoyed the many benefits of urban living. You sound extremely ignorant and it shows that you grew up somewhere where you didn't actually interact with anyone that doesn't look like you.

>Who is "paying the bills" in said cities? Hint: it's not the non-white people and their companies (or lack thereof). And let's not pretend like a sizable portion of this spending doesn't go towards supporting these low-productivity groups in the first place.

Low wage =/= low productivity. If that were true, I'd say this state is pretty damn unproductive. You almost understand systemic racism, but not quite. Also moving the goal posts. Fact is, scared rural folk like yourself aren't paying them.

> Is it your theory that wealth is concentrated in cities becuase they are racially diverse, or diverse becuase wealth is concentrated in cities?

Neither, I was pointing out correlation not causation. I think there are dozens of reasons why.

>States with minority non-hispanic white population:

White =/= non hispanic white. You said "largely non-white."

Your racist self lives in Virginia and goes to GMU. Stop coming into other state's threads trying to promote hate propaganda.
