Now that I’m a minority, I wonder how easy it’d be for me to get on welfare?
Texas has become the fourth state where minorities account for most of the population, the U.S. Census Bureau said Thursday, a trend driven by a surging number of Latinos moving to the state.

According to the population estimates based on the 2000 Census, about 50.2 percent of Texans are now minorities. In the 2000 Census, minorities made up about 47 percent of the population in the second-largest state.

Texas joins California, New Mexico and Hawaii as states with majority-minority populations -- with Latinos the largest group in every one of those states except for Hawaii, where it is Asian-Americans.
Only in America would the term “minority majority” make any damn sense.
