Okay, commence bashing me... I do believe that the majority of TV is very conservative.

But I do not agree with Tennisnut's opinion quoted in ilovetv's post that left-center is non existent. There are left-centers and liberals here, for sure. I've found some, and there is even a club. It is something to consider that they are not the majority, but my husband and I (moderate and liberal) are not politically active and quite happy to concentrate on other things and ignore political view contrary to our own. It's not a deal breaker. We don't talk politics very often with friends.

BTW, there are some super extremely conservative parts of California that would put TV to shame.

This may be getting too political for the mods. Back to the original topic, I believe if you really want to be immersed in true ethnic diversity, you need to be in a big city, or on either the CA coast or NY coast and vicinity. We purposely sent our sons off to big city eastern colleges to get them out of the cloistered, narrow atmosphere of the small religiously conservative city they spent a good chunk of their upbringing in due to our job situation.
