Southern GOP Advances Minorities as Majority Trajectory

White racists that they are, one would think they'd be moving to force abortions among women of color.  You would think they'd be moving to castrate black males.  But they're not doing that.  Quite the opposite. 

Growing up in California, I wish I had paid more attention when this racist angle was playing out at home.  My experience would go back 25, 30 years ago.  There were plenty of white racists in California at the time, and they all agreed that too many Mexicans were 'ruining' their idea of California.  They elected a Republican governor who did a fine job of alienating Mexican-Americans, a pose that will be remembered for a long time.  Not too smart, as the Latino community was already growing much, much faster than the Anglos were.  It was simply a matter of demographics and...basic math.  And the Republicans weren't even counting Asians.  Subsequent Republican governors didn't do an adequate job of reaching out to minorities, and a trajectory was in place.

The Bible Belt still sees the GOP as the white man's party.  What they can't admit is that the GOP is sealing their doom, and it's pretty clear that these Red States will conform to the California model, even though it will take another 25 years; that road is under construction.  Thanks, Republicans...what's disappointing is that the trail getting there can be pretty ugly, and that's what we're going through now.

The California racists moved to Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, in their efforts to get away from all those 'dang Messicans.'  Dem Messicans (and Latinos in general, and Asians (!)) will follow them there.  As for all those fine Red Staters who are not racists, they'll be moving on to greater opportunities in Arizona, Nevada, Florida, California...places full of Mexicans and other Latinos.  This is getting to be a boring story, certainly enough for me.
