All I was trying to say is that for the past 5 years or so, the only new businesses downtown have been mexican. There are now a few non-hispanic shops down there. It is starting to reflect our mixed community a bit better. That is better for our community. Downtown is one of the first areas our tourists see. If they only see hispanic shops, many will assume that is all there is in town. We are a diverse community and I am glad we are showing it. | Dodge City is roughly 70% hispanic if you count the ones that don't get counted. So based on that wouldn't you expect the shops to be about 70% hispanic?
