Sorry, Mpls/St. Paul is full-up with Hmong, Somalian and Mexican.

Doesn't sound like you are full up yet or doing your share with respect to taking Katrina refugees. In the 2000 census, Houston was 37% Hispanic, 25% black, and 5% Asian. By contrast, Minneapolis/St Paul was 7.7% Hispanic, 15% black, and 8.8% Asian.

I was being facetious about Minnesota not being able to help.

Minnesota is a welfare state.

I'm sure we will do our part to help.

I have contributed personally.

It is a good thing to make sure we can take care of our own citizens before others.

I am not a racist.

I voted for George Bush.

I think Texas is doing more than its' share.

I think Texas is a wonderful state with wonderful people.

I hope this is simple enough to not be miscontrued.

I will post like this from now on.

Minneapolis is home to the largest Somalian population in the U.S., the largest Hmong population outside Laos, the 2nd-largest Vietnamese and Ethiopian populations and one of the fastest-growing Latino/Hispanic populations
