Or:
According to the 2005-2007 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, White Americans made up 76.4% of Arizona's population; of which 59.6% were non-Hispanic whites. Blacks or African Americans made up 3.4% of Arizona's population; of which 3.3% were non-Hispanic blacks. American Indians made up 4.5% of the state's population; of which 4.1% were non-Hispanic. Asian Americans made up 2.3% of the state's population. Pacific Islander Americans made up 0.1% of the state's population. Individuals from some other race made up 10.8% of the state's population; of which 0.2% were non-Hispanic. Individuals from two or more races made up 2.4% of the state's population; of which 1.4% were non-Hispanic. In addition, Hispanics and Latinos made up 29.0% of Arizona's population.

Even factoring in an estimated 1/2 million illegals....it wont change the fact that AZ is majority White, non-Hispanic.

And the polls on the AZ law are equally divided by race.
Dear Redux,

I have not responded to this post for a number of days because I had nothing to say. You posted information that seems to be reliable in response to one of my posts. While this information seems inconsistent with what I see with my own eyes on a daily basis I see no reason for your source to be incorrect so therefore I must assume my own previously held belief was inaccurate so I see no value in arguing a point that seems to be settled.

Sincerest regards,

Lookout

There is a difference between "running away" and just not seeing anything worth discussing further.
