Yeah, it is great that it was an open poll. You know on City-Data, every single other thread there is that the brainless mouth foaming boosters will do their absolute best to depict where they live as number one for everything.

They haven't in this thread and I was thinking the same as you were. It is a racist gesture.

What percentage of the Mexican population in California and Texas is foreign born? I assume multi-generation Mexican Americans make up a larger percentage of the population in Texas.

Well speaking of LA in my experience, the Mexican population is so massive that it greatly marginalizes other minorities especially of the non Mexican latin variety, even though LA is super diverse the Mexican population creates a homogeneous effect throughout the basin with the exception of the upper middle class/wealthy neighborhoods.

I wouldn't exactly call LA Mexicans a "minority". I live near Wilshire and Western right now, and to be honest, Mexicans feel even less like a foreign element than everything else that I live around (lots of Koreans, increasing numbers of South Asians).

The only reason I stated the above is that "Hispanics" aren't a point of boosterism to the homers, but a negative.

Definitely agree with this. People love to brag about the great Mexican food in their area, but the people? Forget it. They aren't human beings. They're trash. That's what I can infer from this thread.

Here you go:

California: 5,426,635 Latin American Born
Texas: 3,107,687 Latin American born

California: 14,719,327 Hispanics
Texas: 10,154,405 Hispanics

California Foreign Born Hispanic: 36.9% foreign born
Texas foreign born Hispanic: 30.6% foreign born

Yes, you'd be correct.

City-Data is demographically like 90% white/black and even more of it is seemingly untraveled and/or ignorant about cultures.

Do you think poll results would be the same if there were more Latin Americans and Asians on this forum? Would super white and super black cities be their preference? No. Cities that are popular on this forum are popular for demographic reasons that pertain to the demographics of those that post here.

Ask Latinos in general and their version of "top 10 cities" would look different than the City-Data white/black version.

Definitely not. For everyone here who brags about "diversity" and being "inclusive", there sure is a hell a lot of hubris toward the rest of us. I love being treated like a guest in the United States, even though my grandfather fought for the US during WW2. Way to make us feel all included

Just call us subhuman already. I hope it makes your guys' day feel better.

In a modern sense, California is more influenced by Mexicans but in a historical sense Texas is more influenced by Mexicans than California.
