You'd be "fighting" for a country that secretly loves illegal immigrants. Who needs greedy white folk when we got illegal Mexicans who are willing to work harder for WAAAAAY less? The drug cartels and gangs are one thing, but you say this as if there's no Gangs or drugs in NYC, Newark, Camden, Philly, Baltimore, Buffalo, Bridgeport etc.
So you support illegal immigration? You support all those marches and rallies demanding the Southwest to be part of Mexico.

I'm sorry. You're a traitor.

I don't care if they 'work hard' or 'built things'. They are illegal. They need to leave.

Remember a few months ago, an innocent person was fishing in Texas, and got killed by the cartels? Is that your vision for America?

Yes, the Northeast has crimes, but at least it isn't organized by foreigners who want to take over the United States.

I doubt that.

Its human nature to notice stuff like that, even if they dont express it. And just because they notice it isnt necessarily a bad thing either.

Also, the West has the highest percentage of Multiracial People, followed by the Midwest.

Population 2 or More Races, 2005-2009
West 2.4%
Midwest 1.4%
South 1.3%
Northeast 1.1%

Also, most old school Indians I know do not want their sons or daughters to marry outside of their culture and so do many other people from other cultures-not necessarily out of racism, but more because they realize that marriage is not just the bride and groom, but the bride's family and the groom's family.

Well, you're racist and you seem to be from the Northeast, so I'm gonna say California.

Well, California only wins by 8 votes on an online poll.

Millions of Hispanics (who aren't illegal Mexicans), Asians, Blacks, and multiracial people would gladly disagree.

LOL you don't live anywhere near New York. Yeah, California being overrun with Nortenos and Surenos, Crips and Bloods, various SE Asian gangs, and white power groups...totally not racist.

There aren't any Asian gangs here to protect themselves from the illegal Mexican onslaught.

I'm a white guy here in Northern California. I personally don't put much emphasis on race or ethnicity. I could really care less. I currently live in Marin County having just moved from Sonoma County and growing up between San Francisco and Flint, Michigan. Currently I live in the least diverse part of the Bay Area and other than the stunning natural beauty and the few GOOD people I know out here, I absolutely hate it. My girlfriend is Hatian and while many gawk at the "spectacle" of a white red haired guy and a Haitian girl and many hate, I find that it isnt all that uncommon, even in the northbay.

BTW even in Marin there is traces of diversity and integration as compared to much the rest of the country. Much less than other parts of the area, but as compared to a lot of the country there is quite a bit of diversity with a fairly high foreign born population. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) is roughly 20 %.

Also, statistic is inaccurate. Lots of Black/White mixed kids down south who only put down Black on a census.
Culturally speaking (regardless of geography. Or what race/ethnicity), the majority of people from one family whether black, white, hispanic, asian, etc don't want their children to marry outside of their race. Plain and simple. It doesnt matter whether you are in NYC, SF, or Omaha, Nebraska. There are always going to be those who are open to the world, life, and those who live by their (or others) standards. Who one loves is entirely they decision and who honestly cares that much about the next man (or woman) that they can decide what's right, or wrong. Interracial relationships, although uncommon, are fairly abundant in most cities around the country.
