No Hispanics in Arizona?
Or they just don't join / aren't picked for fire squads?
shareNo Blacks and No Asians either.
The group just happened to be all white.
No conspiracy about it.
No Welsh, no Scottish. Xenophobic I say.
shareHere are their names.

I would guess from their names that most, in fact, had family origins in the British Isles. There is a much higher percentage of Anglo-Saxon names here than in your typical slice of the American population.
I guess, in Sopranos parlance, they are in "Elvis country" ("no Italians, no Jews").
Blacks and Asians are not a high percentage of Arizona's population, whereas Hispanics are a huge percentage and they are well integrated with Anglo Whites.
I didn't say anything about a conspiracy. I'm asking whether or not Hispanics tend to join these fire squads. It's completely possible that Hispanics and others are not compelled OR not invited to join these squads -- either lack of interest on the Hispanics' part or an exclusiveness of the Whites in the squads. This is what I'm asking.

I think this could be the case: last of interesting by Hispanics or it's just a "white" job.
This is one of those things that, as a viewer, I'm apparently oblivious to. The guys were who they were, a bunch of...apparently white dudes.
I'm not sure if I should feel ashamed for not noticing, or somehow above all that and therefore better than you.
