This would seem more credible for evaluating the US if most states with high minority populations didn't give a disproportionate amount of support to minorities. If you make minimal effort to prevent immigration and you give most family support to minorities then of course minorities will be your main high growth population. Non-racially targeted support is made increasingly difficult by the environmentalist doom cult that believes growth is bad but which can't attack support for minorities because race trumps environmentalism in US politics. It's about as mysterious as a company with more investors growing faster than its competitors, sometimes the underdog wins but capital is usually king.
