[QUOTE="witzend, post: 695694, member: 99"] There [I]has[/I] been a lot of Hispanic immigration to the South. There's not work available other than manual labor, even with higher education, and housing opportunities would be quite shabby. Most professional offices represent racial make-up between black & white fairly well, especially in the healthcare industry. on the other hand, in five years I've never seen an Hispanic person other than shopping in a store or working in someone's yard or house. Anyone wanting to move to the South who isn't white and at least middle class and/or doesn't have a stomach for racism beyond the level of "dog whistle" needs to have an accurate picture of life here. My point being that Hispanics here are for the most part are invisible, in a place which doesn't tolerate "other", and that's not good. [/QUOTE]
