    @Xinnix: Well, I'm not very acquainted with the preferences of insider white males -- so I'll defer to your greater familiarity there.

    But I strongly suggest that to derive some benefit from a punchy quote by Dave Hickey, all you need is a modest but sincere appreciation of original and idiosyncratic art criticism. One doesn't necessarily need to know Hickey's race (I don't know his background myself), or even one's own.

    Because you never leave the East Side?

    Don't forget the Providence metro area includes Pawtucket, Central Falls, Johnston and West Warwick. Those towns are so uneducated they have to share a college degree.

    It was crap methodology, but accuracy wasn't the point. The point was to get page clicks.

    After living in Phoenix for 6 years, I can't say I really argue with the ranking. ASU attracts slackers from CA and we are the dumber for it.

    And we continually re-elect Sheriff Joe.
