Also, New England =/= the Northeast. PA/NJ/NY/DE/MD are hardly lily white.
...neither is New England.
Rhode Island is like 33% Hispanic.
More like 12% buddy. And we all know that's more Portuguese than Mexican. You guys don't have as many minorities as the other Northeastern states do.
Nice try though.
Um, no. The urban core of RI is over 20% Hispanic (Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls). And if you look at school-age children in those areas, it's closer to 50%.
And Portuguese aren't Hispanic. And they're from a totally different immigration wave. The Portuguese here are from Portugal itself or the islands.
