I think it's a matter of which statistics you decide to use. We are seriously considering ditching the winters in Northern Nevada and are currently focusing on Las Cruces, New Mexico. Here's a couple of Las Cruces Statistics: Las Cruces Public Schools (Enrollment 23,100) Hispanic: 68.3%, Anglo 27.5%, African-American 2.3%, Asian 1.0%, Native American 1.0%. That adds up to 100.1% but I won't be enrolling:-) New Mexico State University Main Campus (Enrollment 16248) Hispanic 41.7, Anglo 51.4, African American 2.7%, Asian 1.3%, Native American 2.9%. Pretty deversified, I'd say.
