Picture if you will a small town in New Mexico with agriculture, oil fields and ranching. The time is 1943 and the town is 85 % Caucasian with the Mexican population North of the center of town on the worst soil found. Slowly but steadily the population swings (Still all control and city offices held by Caucasians). See now the town as it is. The mayor is Mexican and most governmental and city posistions are held by Mexicans . Why not, since they now are 70% of the population, born there and they hung in there. I left that town and so did many others in the 50's for greener pastures. It was not white flight but simply better opportunities arose elsewhere. The town is still a good town and the people there make it so. I would use the term mocha mix to describe the makeup now. That's just how it is.
That's a nice story. What on Earth does it has to do with my post about how people see the Democrats changing things if they get into power in November, I don't know, but it's a nice story.
