My neighborhood where I lived in the city was heavily populated with the Latino population, and it was enjoyable to live in such a diverse community.

If you take world wide populations like the pie chart does, that does seem to be the case. If you put that theory to work in a community, school, club...., it might hold. My home town / county had two Jewish families and no one cared. In fact, when I left there, there was one Jewish person in the town/county and he was the elected mayor. I noticed that in my area... Mexican was not an issue for local complaints until the population soared past ten percent.

Oh yeah, not trying to be contrary, I imagine the 1% refers to world population.

Jesus - The little dude on Crenshaw with that tricked out bike with the playing cards between the spokes. Cross - To get pissed off! He was really cross with me today. Saved - Your friend has a kidney stone pass and calls you in the middle of that boooooorrrrriiiiiing banquet. Heaven - -Cannot display here, forum guidelines-Follow - What our dog does to everyone inevitably sniffing their buts.
