I suspect a similar contrast if you did all minorities vs caucasians.

The red states in the first map are literally the best states in America.

Oh yes, I hear all of the time how everyone envies the quality of life in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Louisiana...

Tennessee was awesome and I liked Huntsville a lot. I've lived in 5 different states and been to close to 40 of them.

Whom.  Whom will you vote for in November?

"for" is a preposition, and "for whom (will you vote)" is the understood prepositional phrase, so we should choose the objective form of the personal pronoun.  This is sixth-grade stiff, for crying out loud!

When even journalists, our university-trained word merchants, can't seem to get their heads out of their asses long enough to put together a proper interrogative statement, we are reminded of the reasons that world policy depends upon successful marketing of the sensationalistic whims of the cradled, consumerist, disinterested citizens of a pseudodemocracy who, given a choice among 320 million individuals, manage to find two of the most narcissistic, greedy, and spiteful among them to represent themselves to the world.

Sick, sad world.  We chose them; we deserve them.  

(Or, perhaps I should say, "us chose them."  Probably no one would notice the difference.)



"Whom" is mostly going the way of "thee" and "thou".
