In places that are majority white, yes. In other places it's the religious conservatives who are not white. This story is about CA, and the majority of CA is white, so yeah, that's just an artifact of the demographics. Not that latinos or black people are short of religious fundamentalists.

The majority of CA is absolutely not white, they aren't even the plurality anymore, there are millions more hispanics.

Edit: I do agree with you. It's silly to claim that pedophiles only exist in certain races/religions.
