From a political science professor in London (via a loyal reader; thanks!):
Like the good citizens of Martha’s Vineyard…. “White Remain voters … are less likely than white Brexiteers to say they prefer to move from their diverse neighbourhoods … But white Remain voters are more likely to actually move from diverse places than white Brexit voters (with many sociodemographic controls).”
Are Americans more likely to act on their expressed beliefs? The professor found that Americans who voted against Trump were just as likely to try to move to all-white neighborhoods as those who voted for anti-immigrant hate:
Of course, it also works if you espouse love for migrants and can get them removed to a far-away military base within hours of them showing up… “Migrants sent to Martha’s Vineyard are being rehoused on a base in Cape Cod” (from state-sponsored NPR):
Authorities in Massachusetts are moving the dozens of migrants who arrived earlier this week in Martha’s Vineyard to Cape Cod.
The office for Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker announced Friday that the state’s emergency management agency relocated the migrants to Joint Base Cape Cod.
The migrants’ arrival in Martha’s Vineyard earlier this week was a surprise to local officials, who had no idea that they were coming
Since Wednesday, state and local organizations have scrambled to assist the new arrivals, many of whom speak little to no English.

Is it news that leftists are hypocrites? Or, at least, is it news to non-leftists?
I always thought it was funny that Trump (lives mainly in Miami and Manhattan, married to an immigrant) was portrayed by the media as a super racist almost-Klansman, while Bernie (Vermont) and Hillary (Chappaqua, N.Y., with the approximate demographics of Vermont) are supposedly rainbow-coalition-worthy. I’m sure the latest batch of candidates shows pretty much the same pattern.
They also said he was anti-semetic yet has a jewish daughter.
Here’s a funny quote from one of the responses:
“The way you phrased this seems kind of strange. Are the progressives voting with their feet against diversity, or are they voting with their feet against factors which might accompany diversity like bad schools, high crime, etc.?”
I don’t want to get cancelled, but I almost want to ask the guy “Are you saying diversity makes schools and crime worse?” Why would you say that?
The lion kingdom went from being all white to being all Indian in the last 25 years, while rent went from $900 to $3000. The natives didn’t have enough money to stay near the migrants.
