Celebrate Diversity

The latest census findings have been reported and anyone paying attention (or has found they need an English to Spanish dictionary just to order anything at a fast food joint) can tell you that the Latino population is on the rise:

Utah's population keeps showing more racial diversity, with blacks leading the way in percentage growth as a population last year and Latinos accounting for a quarter of the state's total growth, according to U.S. Census estimates released today.

There is even a handy graph:

Strangely, there was no May Day protest marches here in the Bee Hive state. Could it be the snow? Nah. The Trib says they're scared. Between the legislation passed last year and the apparent apathy of the populace, it seems to have protesters thinking twice. I can live with that.
