• I had been hearing on-the-ground buzz that white folks were moving to places like Bend, Oregon, and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and St. George, Utah. That led me to discover through census data that these towns were already extremely white and they were becoming, in most cases, even whiter.

• Si yo fuera un inmigrante latino no nacido en Estados Unidos, no podría haber escrito Searching for Whitopia: An Improbably Journey to the Heart of America. Y es que muchos de los whitopianos no se habrían sentido cómodos hablando de sus puntos de vista sobre la inmigración, hablando de sus puntos de vista sobre los impuestos. Y no me habrían soltado el nuevo guión sobre raza y pobreza como lo hicieron.

• En las Whitopias pioneras del Oeste, la inmigración solía ser la cuestión social y racial dominante.
