Urban archipelago
-
A term created by sex columnist and liberal [Dan Savage] in the wake of the [2004 Presidential Election] to describe the concentration of [the political left] in the United States near major cities and college towns in terms of islands of diversity in a sea of conformity. The implication is that the islands have their own interests to attend to and should disregard the sea.
It is thought that this exists because rural communities tend to be more isolated from other cultures than urban communities, and because people tend to leave the rural world for an education in urban areas and not go back.
