Viriginia's diversity is due to immigration and shifting population trends - not due to a set of artificial boundaries defined by others. People come to Virginia because they want to be here. Here in Arlington, we proudly have extraordinary diversity in our schools and housing. It is the melting pot, not the Balkans. Hey while I'm at, Arlington VA just announced that it is not waiting for the federal government - our government will be acknowledging the genuine issues associated with global warming and making adjustments to prevent it. So, quit making jokes about it and pitch in. Your Balkan analogy may have been a light hearted attempt at humor, but it is misplaced.

If anything, I think that's a conservative estimate. While I cannot point to a poll, I have worked with Muslim voters and groups, and they make blacks look like a swing constituency.
