that of the white, not hispanic category.
This is more extreme than the black/white difference of the pre-WWII era.
It is very nearly impossible to exaggerate the implications of a divergence of this magnitude, and it is
attributable entirely to mass immigration under egregiously low standards of quality of population.
As the old Sixteen Volts post pointed out though, if you move to a minority neighborhood that's gentrification and gentrification is EVIL!
