12. I hate to tell you this...
...but that seems to be exactly what racists in Arizona want you to say.

Around 30 years ago, Richard Butler of Aryan Nations came up with this idea that whites should emigrate en masse to the five states of the Pacific Northwest, pack the state and local governments with white separatists and supremacists, and force all of the minorities out into neighboring states and leave the new all-white states alone. Butler called it the Ten-Percent Solution.

The effort had only limited success. Most Klansman would never entertain the thought of abandoning the South, and many who did move to the Pacific Northwest found themselves facing high unemployment rates and harsh winters. The Ten-Percent Solution did inflate the congregation of Aryan Nations a tad, and also played a part in growing racial terrorists and guerillas such as The Order, but that's about as far as it went.

When the anti-immigrant law in Arizona is repealed - and it will, I am sure, within the next five years - I hope that any nonwhite person who is in love with Arizona's landscape and climate will pour into the state and make the racists squirm.
