我引一段文章给你仔细看
The percentage of whites in the Texas population declined from 52 percent in
2000 to 45 percent in 2010, while the percentage of Latinos rose from 24.6
percent to 38 percent. Nearly half of all Texans under 18 - 48 percent - are

美国佐治亚州的花生公司在明知自己产品可能被沙门氏菌污染的情况下，依然继续将其
推向市场销售，在两年时间内，前后共有12批次受污染产品流向美国和加拿大的食品加
工厂，结果造成至少8人死亡（其中4名幼儿），另有500多人中毒。
据报道，美国联邦食品药品管理局和疾病控制中心发布的联合声明指出，从2007年到20
08年间，这家花生酱公司于在12次内部检验中发现自己的产品可能被沙门氏菌污染，但
是并没有根据相关规定将其全部销毁，而是任由其流向市场，最终酿成一场大丑闻。
据悉，上述批次的产品也曾由厂家邀请第三方机构进行抽样检查，结果相当部分呈阳性
，但是花生酱公司依旧不以为然，继续对外销售。不过，美国政府有关机构并不要求生
产厂家披露自己开展的上述内部检测结果，因此监管部门强调对这次食品污染问题“事
前不知情”。
尽管这些花生酱不是直接针对消费者的“终端产品”，但却是大大小小的饼干厂、糖果
厂、冰激凌厂，甚至是狗粮厂的重要原料 |

翻译：一年以前的今天，中国警察暴力镇压了新疆省会乌鲁木齐维族的一个和平示威。
