Take it to another thread rdean. The minorities having babies don't come from the Bible belt. We have a comprehensive sex ed program in our district. And we currently have over 20 pregnant teens. And yes - most of them are minorities.
The broad brush is appropriate here because we are talking about the Census. If the information was not important or relevant, the question need not be asked.
It is not just about government handouts. It's about culture and education and crime and neglected children, etc. It should not be a partisan issue; but apparently it is.
And Ghook - we have had an influx of Hispanics from another district (both PR and Mexican) and they have stated the same thing as your barber. They want a better school district because of all the Mexicans in their old school. Weird.
Except the article says nothing about crime rates, economics, or socioeconomics. You guys are editorializing on those issues.
Here's a novel concept: Ethnic group X lands in America by the boatload. Ethnic group Y, that is now firmly established in America hates and discriminates against ethnic group X. This goes on for years and years and there is much hand wringing and angst (and the occasional act of violence) until ethnic group X becomes fully established in this country. Then ethnic group Z starts landing in America. Now ethnic group X and Y both hate ethnic group Z. Wash, rinse, repeat.
You would think there would be some empathy in a nation of immigrants.
