Oregon isn't just Portlandia hipsters; there's a lot of backcountry.
That map doesn't tell you much absent a finer breakdown.
Sure but 85% of Portland kindergartens have at least non-medical exemptions. The schools with the highest rates of non-medical exemptions (over a third) are predominately in Eugene or Portland.

I've not seen anything to suggest this is primarily a backcountry or a fundie issue (except for the odd megachurch that preaches against vaccines) as opposed to one predominately among the bobos. That could change, of course.

It does look like it was coined by an American but I've only ever heard it used by Euros. -_-

First time I heard it was from Capetan Mihali IIRC.

Our admittedly poor search function revealed Duque as the poster who most frequently uses the term.

Expressing my irritation/curiosity with Duque's compulsive, almost pathological, use of the term (which was infecting Syt's posting to a lesser extent), IIRC. :D  Also because I can't stand David Brooks.  That's one bit of esoterica I do not want to take credit for introducing to the world.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I don't want to get labeled "anti-science", but I don't think vaccines help against haunted fabric.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
