There have been essays and books, and all kinds of answers to that question, but I think it boils down to us being the only non-Christians European Catholics and later Protestants interacted with regularly within Christian controlled areas. Thus we were the only really different ones.
I think it's more of an Albuquerque white kid thing than one common to the state as a whole. Maybe throw in Santa Fe and Los Alamos.
That's the thing, there's politically correct so as not to be a raging asshole, and there's politically correct to cater to the privileged groups. The former is good. The latter is just one more method of oppression.
