Texas is officially a minority-majority state:
According to the population estimates based on the 2000 Census, about 50.2 percent of Texans are now minorities. In the 2000 Census, minorities made up about 47 percent of the population in the second-largest state.
Texas joins California, New Mexico and Hawaii as states with majority-minority populations — with Hispanics the largest group in every state but Hawaii, where it is Asian-Americans.
This member of the “Texas minority-majority” welcomes this change in demographic power. Perhaps it’s high time we minorities flexed our muscles to finally implement Sunday-through-Thursday workweeks, strict Kosher laws for food handling, and restore the lunar calendar so nobody knows what to write on their checks anymore.
Viva la Revolucion!
Got any good kosher enchilada recipes for Cinco de Kislev?
I’m moving to Austin-Hippie-Central next month with my wife and 4 kids. We should help “balance” things a bit.
Except I just remembered. I’m a White African American (the ultimate minority) and my wife is Jewish, and that means my kids are White-Jewish-African-Americans!
(Dang! We’re making it worse!)
Shalom, Yo!
That story is factually incorrect. Texas is now 100% minorities. The only way that this story makes sense is if “minority” means “non-white”, which would be a silly confusion of terms. Certainly the press wouldn’t confuse us like that.
Would you go to Africa or South America or Asia or the Middle East and say “wow, this place is all minorities!”? Would that make sense?
How about we drop the euphemisms and just say that whites are no longer the majority?
You know what, I bet it’s just another evil plot by Karl Rove.
The press just doesn’t want to confuse things by using the word “plurality”. They’re stupid that way.
Quick trivia: what is the name of the hispanic character on King of the Hill?
Tell that to the liberals Jeb, especially Howard Dean. They’re the ones always bringing up the “wing of minorities” crap.
“But apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”
Our plan is working, elect a Republican who won’t do anything about border security, allow the southern states to become less white, and less Republican, turn the red states into blue states, silly looking men in cowboy costumes can no longer run the show.
Finally, I can get some of those sweet minority grants for college!
So, there’s where all the good mexicans are?
Que?
