Have you ever been to Iowa City? Far more diverse than your description. When I was there I read the hospital births list every day in the newspaper. The majority of births was to couples with very ethnic-sounding names. Maybe they're only in Iowa City for school? Even so, aren't they probably followed by more "foreign" students? I realize Iowa City isn't all of Iowa. I have a gay friend who quit a good job at Iowa State and moved to New Jersey because he and his partner were hassled so much. He said he thought Ames was as conservative as Utah where he grew up and was not accepted. But Iowa City? Calls itself The Paris of the Midwest ... and that's only a little bit funny.
