And how exactly have I done that???? I'm not on-trial here, but the poster seems to have an issue with the overall Hispanic presence in Nevada. I'm of Latin origin, and even I get tired of being bombarded or crowded out. It is no secret that predominantly Hispanic areas are FULL of people. It is also no secret that in predominantly Hispanic areas, ENTIRE families go into stores "crowding them out" even though only one or two people are shopping. It's annoying. I like going places away from the noise, away from the mariachi blaring from people's cars, away from taqueria, panaderia, paleteria on every single block, away from drivers (clearly not from the U.S.) assuming that like in MX, the bigger car gets the right-of-way. It's all very tiring. Sometimes, folks need a break and have to rejoin America. Soooo, from the frying pan and into the fire? I think not. Just speaking my mind here.

Yup. You then will have to deal with the fact this city has a large and pretty successful Hispanic population. And your post is simply pushing a stereotype view. Hispanic have also been effective in gentrifying some neighborhoods as they succeed financially. Yes the lower socioeconomic group will live in large groups often family. So what? Don't live in lower class neighborhoods and it is not a problem.

Obviously you have no clue as to why the family cloistering practice is done... It's cultural-NOT CLASS-RELATED. sheesh

I don't consider minority majority to be a problem, just an interesting label when white non-hispanic people go to less than 50%.

Many cities are minority majority, but this is only the fifth state after HI, CA, TX, and NM.

Dean Heller should be afraid. Very afraid.

^^^ agree, but most likely not for the same reason you think.

Dean Heller is a friend to no one.
