"Florida" is my area, but so is my county. The most common ancestry in MY COUNTY is Puerto Rican. There are many OTHER Hispanics too.

There is NO country named Florida.

Here are some stats

Percentages
0. United States 2,282,434 88.35
1. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico** 23,464 .91
2. Cuba 21,520 .83
3. Haiti 19,684 .76
4. Mexico 19,014 .74

7. Colombia 10,094 .39
8. Venezuela 7,757 .3
9. Dominican Republic 7,106 .28
10. Brazil 6,192 .24

Thats LESS THAN 1% for Puerto ricans immigrants.

Again, only some places. Go in the south, you see Cubans and Negroes. Go to the middle you see other Hispanics. Go to the North, I guess you see the Whites.

What are the persentages? And Cubans ARE hispanic.

Also on Puerto Ricans

Puerto Ricans made up 11 percent of the Egypt Lake-Leto area, 10 percent of Town "N Country and 9 percent of the University of South Florida area.

OMG! Its and invasion!

Puerto Ricans have migrated to Florida in recent years in two streams, said Dario Ruiz, a Puerto Rican past president of the League of United Latin American Citizens and a manager in Hillsborough County's human resources department. One stream is a largely professional group coming directly from Puerto Rico; the second is a less-skilled wave of second- and third-generation Puerto Ricans moving from the northeastern United States, Riuz said.
Both groups are attracted by Florida's healthy economy and Tampa's well-established Latin culture, Ruiz and Morejon said.
"We come here, and the matter of getting adapted to the place is not a big issue," Ruiz said.
Lawyer Ralph Fernandez, a prominent Tampa Cuban, said he and his compatriots aren't likely to be bothered by being outnumbered by Puerto Ricans. Cubans have managed to assimilate into the mainstream while achieving professional and political influence beyond their numbers, he said.
"I don't think there is an immigration that comes close to the impact of the Cuban immigration," Fernandez said.
Morejon said Hispanics as a whole, who increased 68 percent in Hillsborough and 70 percent statewide, should gain an increasing political voice.
"It's going to be interesting to see how this turns out in the next 10 years," he said.
Morejon said Puerto Ricans are likelier to participate in community affairs than immigrants from most Latin American countries, who typically learned to distrust the government back home and are focused in the United States on working their way out of poverty.
Puerto Ricans, in contrast, have grown up in a territory of the United States and many visited the mainland frequently before moving here, said Ruiz.
"We are Americans from the top of our heads to the tip of our toes," he said

If you buy English TV.

You mean ABC/CBS/NBC and PBS all speak only spanish on your TV? Wow. Do you get basic cable (with CNN, AMC, Disney channel, etc..)?

When was this? Latin American culture is taking over Florida now

I thought you said it was only your county.

Country Music Television... I don't see the word "White" anywhere there, nor do I see that it was created for WHITE culture.

Country music is NOT PART of white culture? Now thats news to me.

Country music is a blend of popular musical forms originally found in the Southern United States and the Appalachian Mountains. It has roots in traditional folk music, Celtic music, gospel music, and old-time music and evolved rapidly in the 1920s.[1] The term country music began to be used in the 1940s when the earlier term hillbilly music was deemed to be degrading, and the term was widely embraced in the 1970s, while country and western has declined in use since that time, except in the United Kingdom and Ireland, where it is still commonly used.

Immigrants to the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North America brought the music and instruments of the Old World along with them for nearly 300 years. The Irish fiddle, the German derived dulcimer, the Italian mandolin, the Spanish guitar , and the African banjo[6] were the most common musical instruments. The interactions among musicians from different ethnic groups produced music unique to this region of North America. Appalachian string bands of the early twentieth century primarliy consisted of the fiddle, guitar, and banjo.[7] This early country music along with early recorded country music is often referred to as Old-time music.

Its not 100% white true but it sure is MORE white than a lot of other "white music" except maybe classic music like Beethoven and mozart and stuff like that,

What music YOU listen to anyway?

Don't confuse rednecks with Whites

yeah but its a huge stretch to say country music was NOT created by white Americans

- I hate Country and I don't know one White, personally, that likes it

Still it was created mostly by whites.

but I do know a Negro that likes Rap, HipHop, and Country...

and that proves...?
