You're not serious about that, are you?

Georgia is 7.4% Hispanic/Latino. As a whole, about 15% of Americans identify as Hispanic or Latino, so Georgia has a lot fewer Spanish speakers than most places.

What a hateful bigoted post/poll. If this mirrored, how long would it remain up? People such as the author of this poll are the very scourge of the type of people I would want living near me.

You must then believe that the suburbs of cities like Minneapolis and Portland are extremely racist. You won't find a lot of non-whites in those places.

There are always some people who are all the things you mentioned. I don't really care. People are people and you just learn and adjust to living around them. Enough love can overlook just about anything. Just say, "Bless your little heart."

when will you liberals wake up and realize that liberal does not equal open minded? the only thing you have an open mind about are your own beliefs. there are several examples of just how "open minded" liberals are on this site.

Maybe they are in the burbs as you put it because they are tired of the constant crime and their kids being bullied and the drugs being sold near their homes and bringing down their house values. What a really stupid thing to say. My liberal sister lives in a Suburb and is very anti racist. Thinks everyone should get along etc etc. I do not live in a suburb either I live in the country. You know whites are not the only race that can be racist ever thing of that? Or are you just spouting what the news tells you to believe? Oh yes I have lived both in ghetto's and in majority white areas and much prefer the white areas I did not have to worry about my bike and car being stolen, getting jumped waiting for the bus or having jerks next door selling drugs all night.

Yes I am serious maybe it is only 7.4% hispanic but when you live in a town of less than 2k people and a good 30% is mexican's you tend to want to leave. Like I said its one of the reasons I am leaving, there are no jobs here where I live.Another huge reason to leave.

Oh I'm sorry, do you know me? I don't think so. Like I said, I CHOOSE to live in an area where people are open-minded. In the case of my city, those people are located on the east side, where it is decidedly unanimous that the majority of people there are liberal AND open-minded. On the opposite side, the people who live on the south side are decidedly conservative AND close-minded. Sorry if this doesn't fit your perception of liberals, but it's the truth.
