Arizona’s race issues are not Southern race issues. I know this, because their race issues are far more similar to those in my neck of the woods. I’ve been watching the crazy that goes with the Mexican border for a very long time.

I was around when Prop. 187 went through.

And California was a Union state, and New Mexico a Union territory.

Every culturally and regionally distinct chunk of the country has its own shit that goes with this.
