America's growing diversity has reached nearly every state.
From South Carolina's budding immigrant population to the fast-rising number of Hispanics in Arkansas, minority groups make up an increasing share of the population in every state but one, according to figures released Tuesday by the Census Bureau.
"This is just an extraordinary explosion of diversity all across the United States," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. "It's diversity and immigration going hand in hand."
West Virginia is the exception, with its struggling economy and little history of attracting immigrants. (See state-by-state comparisons)
Frey said states that attract large numbers of immigrants can consider it a "badge of economic success." There have, however, been backlashes.
"In some places it will be a while before they are accepted by the locals," Frey said. "All we have to do is look at this immigration debate."

Uh, duh!
How about the closure of ERs in California's central valley due to the fact that mexicants use the ER as their primary care provider and don't pay a dime!?
How about the drain on social services nationwide since they expect free food, utilities and housing?!
How about putting the cost of housing in an inflationary spiral since, (hello DC!), they're going to have to live somewhere!?
How about crime rates at record levels?
How about mexican gangs terrorizing whole communities?
Yeah, I get all warm and fuzzy whenever I think about our cute little friends from the south.
How about flying the Mexican flag above an upside-down American flag.
explosion of diversity? how about erosion of american sovereignty?
Put the blame where the blame is due. Washington, DC. They allowed it, ignored it, and NOW SUPPORT IT. All for votes and personal utopian ONE AMERICA agendas -- at the full and complete expense of the REAL American citizen.
Think about that in the voting booth, better yet, before then. My list is already made. It is going to be a very anti-incumbent vote this season.
How about machete attacks on women?
Amen to that.
Now we can all live in the same kind of hell-hole they have in Mexico.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE OUT IN PUBLIC, DOING MY ERRANDS ETC. AND FEEL LIKE I LIVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHERE PEOPLE SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget assimilation and paying taxes.
I'm thinking of moving to West Virginia. It has many advantages; fewer illegals and a chance to vote against Bob Byrd and Rockefeller.
Old stand-by, whenever I see diversity:
Just remember that "diversity" is:
celebrating that people are different,
while pretending not to notice any such differences.
Nothing has the ability to rip a society apart quite like diversity, and it does so across the globe. Yet these turkeys love it!
How does someone coming into the country with no formal education and everything they own in life in their hip pocket constitute a "badge of economic success" ???
I think I now understand what it was like to watch Rome burn.
Whites are evil of course. The universal scapegoat it seems.
How about them changing their freaking transmission in said public parking lot, with oil all over the place?
And how about them just giving you a stupid smile when you look incredulously at what they're doing?!
