Oklahoma is meth central as well......progressives shouldn't be bashing these states, because these states have a lot of Indigenous people----the precious Native Americans that some one the Left like to bash white males about......Dems should try to win Indigenous states like the Dakotas, Montana, Oklahoma, instead of attacking it as "flyover" country because of how rural whites are.
I'm an Okie, may family has been here since before statehood. A big chunk of my family are card carrying Cherokee and growing up in Eastern Oklahoma I have many friends and ex-girlfriends that are card carrying. Saying Oklahoma isn't that diverse isn't bashing Oklahoma it's the truth. You calling it "meth central" is bashing it.
Oklahoma is 74% white, 11.1% Hispanic, 9.4% Native American, and 7.8% Black. Florida is far more diverse.
So are Oklahoma and West Virginia meth centrals due to how "diverse" we are, or because of how poor and uneducated we are? I think it probably has much more to do with the later than the former. Either way your thesis doesn't survive even the tiniest amount of challenge, there are far more diverse states that aren't top 10 stressed.
