HISPANICS PASS BLACKS AS LARGEST MINORITY GROUP
In our neck of the woods anglos are the largest minority group and blacks are one of the smallest. ¡Bienvenido a México del norte!

Turlock is a wonderful place to live! I've mentioned before that we live on an international cul-de-sac. Our next door neighbor is Taiwanese. Behind us is an Assyrian family. On the other side of us is a Punjabi family. Next to them are some other Euro-mutts (like ourselves), next to them a Mexican family, next to them a Portugese family, next to them (and across the street from us) another Punjabi family... And it goes on with more first and second generation immigrants. I can hear at least five languages spoken while I'm gardening in my backyard. And when everyone starts to cook -- wow!
