diversity is only skin deep? And the lack of color is what?

Is it really diversifying if in most of those places, it just means there are greater number of Mexicans moving in.

And white people not having children.

If only the allegedly diverse population we have in Arizona voted as regularly as the pissed off old caucasian fucks in Sun City who move here to die and couldn't care less about the state's future. Politics here would probably be a hell of a lot less insanely right wing.

My head is asploding.

The individual metro graphs on the map do a better job of explaining this than any of those words they used.

People of color. It's like my mom wrote this.

Isn't Rhode Island losing population? Maybe the increase in "diversity" is that the Whites with money are leaving an unfavorable living climate, and the poor Blacks are being left behind.
