HISPANICS ESSENTIAL FOR ECONOMIC HEALTH?

A business professor from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill told an all-white Chamber of Commerce audience in Lexington, N.C., that this state "needs its growing Hispanic population not only to compete in the global labor market but also to replace aging baby boomers in the work force."

He said these words shortly before being chased out of town by a pitchfork-wielding mob.

Don't know if the professor's demographics are correct, but if they're even remotely accurate, how will those facts mesh with the incipient racism of an NC Republican Party led by the likes of Virginia Foxx, Sue Myrick, et al., who want to energize their base against multiple "threats" from Hispanics?

Inquiring minds want to know.
