The following does not describe the Texas population in the 1980 and 1990s:

• has an Anglo, or non-Hispanic white, minority population increasingly urban
more ethnically diverse with Latino and Asian American population growth
• includes three of the nation's ten largest cities

The statement that does not accurately describe the Texas population in the 1980s and 1990s is:

  • "has an Anglo, or non-Hispanic white, minority population increasingly urban."

This is misleading because during the 1980s and 1990s, the Anglo population in Texas was becoming a smaller percentage of the overall population due to significant growth in Latino and Asian American populations. The description may imply that the Anglo population is a minority in an increasingly urban context, which might not capture the dynamics accurately in terms of demographic shifts. Instead, it could be asserted that Texas experienced a reduction in the Anglo majority, particularly in urban areas, due to the rise of Latino and other minority populations.
