Default Latino's Sue For Bigger Share Of Community Services In Modesto

Racial politics are as divisive and foolish as anything I know, but racial apportionment is even worse. I don't understand the logic here. There is a group of racially bent people claiming discrimination, and their solution for it is to beg for more.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeal declined to throw out the lawsuit this week. In it, Hispanic residents say law enforcement takes longer to respond to their calls, that their neighborhoods lack adequate sewers and sidewalks, and other charges.

In 2007 a Fresno judge dismissed their claims, saying he saw no evidence of discrimination.
