Anecdotally, as one of the "brown people" that is okay with Arizona, I've never been hit by "your papers, please".
Ironically, I feel that California offers much less in terms of "open minds" - I am strongly liberal on social matters and advocated for homosexual marriage rights in AZ. Here I feel legitimately scared to mention that I have conservative views on business affairs without fear of potentially losing a job given how quickly people are to lambaste anyone they can for any opinion that doesn't conform to the acceptable limits of non-conformity.
I'm just keeping my head down and doing my job until I can go back to a more sensible location.

- dcow 9y agoThis sounds more like it, but most Bay/LA Area Californians would never believe it's possible to e.g. have civil liberties, be spiritual/religious, and be socially liberal all at the same time.
- beatpanda 9y agoCan you name one person who was fired for "conservative views on business affairs", please?

- ScottBurson 9y agoThat seems like more of a social issue than "business affairs" to me. But I don't really know what seangrogg is referring to with that phrase.
- 0x445442 9y agoYeah, I'm also one of those "brown people". Based on affordable housing and acceptance of diversity of thought, it's much friendlier in Arizona than California. As far as the political views you highlighted, my guess is you're part of the vast majority of the electorate that's socially liberal and financially conservative. Question is, can that vast majority ever organize?
- humanrebar 9y ago> ...vast majority of the electorate that's socially liberal and financially conservative... There isn't a vast majority on controversial social issues or they wouldn't be so controversial.
