Is Burlington, VT "too white"?
Are Iowa and New Hampshire "too white"?
Did the opinion of the Clinton campaign and/or its close allies that such places are "too white" contribute to Hillary's loss of the election?
Did the media's opinion that Paul Ryan's district in Wisconsin is "too white" contribute to Hillary's loss in that state? (and more importantly, did that opinion contribute to Russ Feingold's failure to recapture his Senate seat in WI?)

Burlington is pretty white. Whiter than a Phish audience.
That's the kind of bold flavor they enjoy in Albuquerque!

probably, but does that mean that they are "non-progressive"?

No, but they might not have an insight into the experiences of the people of the entire country.

But, a richly ethnically mixed area, say- New Jersey, for example- might provide a more accurate insight.

How white is too white?
Used to be to old time Yankees Frenchmen (Quebeckers) and Italians didn't count as "white."

Dad is NinnyD's age; a pal called him "the only White guy" in his building (har-har!) because the majority are Eyetalians.

There's a rule in Burlington that if you have a last name that ends in a vowel besides "E", you can't move there.

Don't worry, Loon. Vermont is getting less and less "white" all the time, along with the rest of America.
And sunblock will prevent those WhiteFolks from getting skin cancer.

Usually, if people just come out and make their point, yes.
What were you trying to say with this OP?

He is laboring under some kind of illusion that the Clinton campaign thought that Iowa and New Hampshire had more white people than they should have.
I don't know whether he also believes that he was once abducted by space aliens.

I was not abducted by space aliens once. It was three times.
And no, I'm not providing a fucking link.

You do realize that not just "WhiteFolks" get skin cancer?

Google something along the lines of Bernie Sanders America Campaign Ad, you'll probably find links more to your liking than what I'd provide.

On a most basic level, that the Democrats/media shouldn't be going out of their way to alienate swing voters.

Nope. I couldn't find anyone saying that any part of the country was "too white". Have you ever heard anyone say that? Who? When?
