For instance, I read in the Detroit News yesterday an article that compared and contrasted Sylvan Lake and Detroit by highlighting points such as "Detroit is a metropolis that's mostly black, poor, undereducated...", while Sylvan Lake is "a lakeside Oakland County community of about 1,600 mostly higher-income whites who have college degrees."

Wait a minute. The article in question was pointing out the demographics of the insanely drawn districts. it continues to say "
the two communities couldn't be more demographically opposite"

From The Detroit News: http://detnews.com/article/20110711/...#ixzz1RumdDOq3
that was the whole point of the article to point out the ridiculousness of the district.
