What would Martin Niemoller think about Arizona?

According to census figures, AZ is majority white, non-Hispanic:

White persons not Hispanic, percent, 2008 58.4%
Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin, percent, 2008 (b) 30.1%

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.

Thank you for your sincere response, even if it didnt acknowledge your initial smart ass remark.

It is certainly better than saying the data is completely irrelevant.
