#6 Duh. There are more of them in the inner city in poor areas where things are cheap and shit. Agree with Glenmore, more an economic thing.

Some Generalities
1. Minorities tend to congregate in Metro-areas.
2. Metro-areas tend to have the most air pollution.
3. Metro-areas tend to have lower living conditions.
4. Most US Metro-areas are Democrat controlled.

Summary: The Democrats have provided their Minority Voters an unsafe living environment.
