Denver, White is now a Minority

[Colorado Osprey]

Denver's white population has slipped below 50 percent for the first time, making it the largest county in the nation to experience that change in the past year, census figures released today show.

The thing is, when these polls were taken and listed in various publications it was not specified legal or illegal residents to make up the criteria of race in certain areas. Strangely enough supposedly Tucson AZ is still supposed to be caucasion majority, but if you have vistited there any time in say the last 20 years you will know that is not the case. That fact leads me to believe that they are only considering legal residents for race majority/minority status.

If illegal resident were included most caucasion were not the majority a long time ago in man, many places.

I was in Tucson twice last year for work. I was training their account managers on our new handheld computer systems. I went with one guy who ordered Pepsi for restaurants. He had to speak spanich to most of the Mexican Food places because none of the owners or managers spoke English. After I had trained 6 guys I asked if that was all and they said unless you want to die. I asked WTF does that mean. I can't remember the names of the cities south of Tucson, but that account manager is a legal Mexican, because white people in the neighborhoods that some of these mom and pop small grocery stores are in aren't safe for them. Hell I didn't feel safe going in some neighborhoods with these kid of shops in Tucson, but those are safe they tell me.

And I'll agree. I saw more Hispanics then whites while there. But for awesome Mexican food, you go to Little Mexico restaurants there.

My wife, son and I are the only white people on the entire block over here in aurora. That tells me something about Aurora anyways. The movie theater across the street plays mexican tuba music over a loud speaker...oh and our King Soopers is the only one in the metro area that closes at 11.

I gotta move bad............
