I see you have noticed the vocal shrinking political group in America that points out and complains about our diversity all the time are the same ones who are responsible for it...

We all get along pretty good here in the south living our lives and pulling together in a disaster. But now all of a sudden the liberal elitists who live in their non-diverse communities think they have all the answers...

I saw it all again yesterday visiting college websites. In the south, the displaced students can come on over and go to college for free, even asking the teachers to come too because they need the teachers. But read this at ted's Washington college:

WSU may still be able to help some students this semester, and certainly can help many students next semester. The Office of Student Affairs will be working to extend every available sort of assistance to help these students continue their studies. Because each student’s academic and personal needs vary, the University asks students to work directly with the Office of Admissions on a one-to-one basis for help with their needs.

NE Rutgers only helping their own NJ residents and no one else:
ur.rutgers.edu

Contrast that "nuanced" double-talk with this:

Also, the public four-year colleges and universities will waive out-of-state tuition and fees for those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

And teachers:

Huckabee says teachers that fled Louisiana can get jobs in Arkansas schools and other workers will be able to find places within the workforce as they settle into what will be a long stay in Arkansas.
