15. The stats look odd from a TX perspecitive.

The stats may look odd depending on where one lives...

Being from, and living in TX, the Hispanic growth is something I take as normal (my own city, Grand Prairie has an Hispanic population of over 50%). But seeing an Asian population close to 13.5% is far beyond our ken in TX-- without checking, I'd hazard that we may be 6 or 7% tops for our Asian populace. Also odd is the (to me) that the California black population seems incredibly tiny. I would have guessed somewhere in the 15%-25% range.

I suppose I had thought the CA's demographics would be about the same as TX.

Which is why it's a good thing I rarely guess...

Oh, I'm sorry if you think I'm race baiting. DaveJ Feb 2013 #18
I think the comparatively small Douchebag-American population was the only one called out there. nt Posteritatis Feb 2013 #20
