and could still be viewed as "one of them" and not "tainted". This is not farfetched and is talked about in the supremacist Bible 'The Turner Diaries'. In it they separate whites into groups that are viewed as being tainted. It is based on where they live, work, who they are friendly with, and their political views. It is possible that democrats outside the state are viewed in an entirely different way. Just one theory.

It would be interesting to see an honest and unbiased study looking into this.
