    Yes, but now that California has abandoned it's controversial "herd the minorities into concentration camps next to the toxic dump" program, these people are free to move anywhere they want. Including out of state.

    Of course, it's all my fault, since I'm a white male, right? I smuggled you across the border and moved you into a tarpaper shack next to the nuclear waste site, for only $3000 a month. I'll try to act more responsibly in the future.

    My question is, why aren't we being told, by race, who lives where? would that steal some of the thunder from the claim that there's some Great White Conspiracy t'hold da mino'ties down? Seems odd that they cut white people from the herd, then lump EVERY RACE THAT EXISTS into one group, comparing them to whites. What the hell kind of responsible study is that?

    Now, go find who conducted the study.
