She was the best and brightest her district had to offer the nation, they did their best...
Who is stupider? Her, or those who voted for her? They knew what they were getting.

Concrete examples please, with links to the demographics. For example, the concept fails for all of Europe except perhaps Iceland.

I don't hang out with a lot of republicans, or conservatives...or anyone really...But do you suppose that the people who voted her into office are even stupider than she is?
Because she is seriously stupid, and i have genuine concerns that there may be lead or worse in the water supply, if the entire district is dumber than honey bobo.

One could say Japan, since twice as many are now dying as are being born and they refuse immigration, and xenophobia and bigotry are common there. They want to have robots care for them rather than let other people in. The Germans based immigration on German heritage and many countries do or did, giving preference to those who fit the mold. Israel gives preference to Jews... Hungary went semi fascist because of middle eastern immigration, which lead to the rise of the right in Europe.
Aww jeeze, cannabineer, I don't think i said what I meant there.
I googled it, and found that there are a lot of racially diverse
nations. And I found many or most ethnically diverse too. Some
I found were not racially or ethnically diverse, however. But they're
really not 1st world nations, and so, like Iceland, not really a fair
comparison. I had thought of Ireland, Norwegian countries, etc,
at first, but i dislike comparing Finland to the USA, it's like comparing
nugs to leaf, dirt weed to kief.
So, i fail in this discussion, sorry. Oh, i know, "who gives a rat's ass" but
anyhow I give up on this whole idea. But I still think somehow it gets
more attention in USA than most other places, or is that just another
example of my ethnocentric idiocy? Fuck, who knows. I know what I like tho.

I was gonna comment but the journalist did it for me:
A caution: Cultural diversity is a different concept than ethnic diversity. As a result, a map of the world reflecting ethnic diversity looks somewhat different than the one based on Goren’s cultural diversity measure that combines language and ethnicity profiles of a country.
Take Germany, which is a low-diversity country per map. Nonsense. There are multiple indigenous groups (look at how poorly Bavarians and Berliners get along) and many many residents from Turkey, Syria, Indonesia etc. The economic expat/guest worker phenomenon has changed the map of Europe from Greece to Ireland.

numbers!
Or they vote for her because she is their pawn. I find intelligent, smart people, with money
careers, lives, kids, families, boats, cars, SUV's, all kindsa shit they have, personalities,
charity, all kinds of 'em, and they SWEAR Biden stole the election, etc., etc. I'm tellin' ya.

This is a general discussion thread and demanding people research everything they say is not appropriate, come up with a counter claim if you wish and your own links, the internet is at your fingertips. What specific assertions do you dispute?
It'd take a full on google maps and google info search.
Make a good grad school project or something. You'd
really have to delve into say, 10 or 20 large, 1st world
countries, and get the ethnic/racial/cultural feel for each
one. Then compile and chart all the info. Think ChatGPT
could handle this for us?
I think in some cases it is appropriate. Just not in mine!

I specifically dispute the assertions that sound plausible but do not have the numbers to back them. It is my opinion that the idea being discussed is frequently accepted without looking beneath the surface, where it turns out to be not so true.
It matters imo because this is the skinny end of a conceptual wedge that drives antidiverse sentiment. Knocking that wedge out inhibits the acceptance of obviously worse ideas, like that of a white homeland. That’s why I’m kicking at it.

Chatbot might say yes, but I think it would be prudent to get human research on the topic.
I’m kicking against your idea because I’ve done some traveling (not a lot, but enough to get tossed into unfamiliar cultures) and my experience is that everywhere is made up of ethnic quiltwork. I worry that glossing that over empowers bigots with a plausible, tasty but incorrect datum.

for what? We are having a fertile and respectful discourse afaik.
I just can't go into the research to really drill into the flaws of my own statement.
As you said, it bordered on bigotry. It's like saying black people are great atheletes
and musicians and entertainers, is actually racist. You can't say that or it borders on bigotry.

She won by 0.7% vote margin, so, I'd say there is significant disagreement in Boebert's district over whether or not she'd the "best and brightest" there.

I don’t see it as being as severe. It is not beyond that boundary. Thanks for listening.
