No, I wasn't thinking of you at all, but, as long as you bring it up, it appears that, once again, you have misstated facts. While you do not live in a lily-white suburb, the average resident of your community is twice as likely to be white as is the average in the state of California. Ten percent hardly constitutes a "high hispanic population" in a state where 32% of the residents are Hispanic - it is almost 67% less than average (32%). The percentage of black residents (2%) is 67% below the state average (7%) as well. Finally, Asians (5%)are 50% under-represented in your area compared to the state average (11%).
One wonders, then, how your fair city compares to the county of which it is a part?
Black residents as percentage of the population:
City: 2% County: 18%
Hispanic residents as percentage of the population:
City: 10% County: 16%
Asian residents as percentage of the population:
City: 5% County: 17%
