I’m guessing the brown is Mexican not Spanish.
Well, it is a map of "White Americans" by their ethnicity, and most Mexicans are not classified as white, rightly or wrongly. So, I'm guessing Spanish is the "white" ethnicity in those areas.

Obviously, at some point, these distinctions become silly. I come from a family of which half claims to be German and half claims to be Irish...but I suspect that if Germans from Germany, and Irish from Ireland, heard them, they would just shake their heads, and say, "Really? Please. You folks are American, not German or Irish."

Wow! Can we boot out the homeless, or what! :oops:
You must have sent them up here.
The numbers would be interesting. Like in Vermont (? Is that where it was up there?). 200+%. It’s so cold in winter, they might have gone from 3 to 7 instead of somewhere warmer that has only gone up 30% but from 10,000 to 13,300.
 
And it’s not illegal 😂
Yeah, I forgot we had coal, even though back in the day, I worked on equipment in that industry. :rolleyes:
The other one never talked about, is our salt production:oops::
The Cote Blanche salt mine is the largest producer of Louisiana's three major salt mines and produces nearly 15% of America's highway deicing salt. ... .The states that produce the most salt are Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Utah. May 13, 2024.
I can testify... salt eats equipment.:(
...Worked on those too.
 
I concur… lots of drunk people in Rochester MN and Wisconsin.

I once saw an unusual bachelorette party tradition in bars there. The party went from bar to bar… the bride to be wore 2 cotton string necklaces. Tied to one were dozens of tootsie pop mini’s, tied to the other were pieces of bubble gum.

The bride then approached every guy in the bar and said “blow or a suck for a buck”. The guy choose, paid $1 and got bubble gum or a tootsie pop.

The idea was to make extra cash for… whatever!!!! Yep, lots of drunken fun!
