'We should look after the folks we have' or something like that. He has also made generalizations about Asian folks ('Orientals'). Closed minded and ignorant attitudes are absolutely relevant characteristics.

Joejoe that sentiment is held by a great many people. The idea is that people who are living in the city need to be taken care of rather than focusing dollars on attracting new people. Would you prefer that he had listed all the various asian persuasions? 'Oriental' is an accepted term. Just because you object to someone because they're more uncouth than you expect doesn't make them less fit. I know quite a few rednecks who'd fail your test who could probably educate MANY people. Your ideology is that someone should be polished and willing to make enough compromise to keep everyone happy. Unfortunately that's idealistic...as can be seen in the Pan Am debate. As for someone's maturity level, do you even know the guy? You're judging someone's future decisions and performance based on their sound bites, that's not entirely mature either.

You enjoy using the word ideology to vilify other peoples' opinions because they don't fit into your ideological world! Give it a rest!
