like no place for these workers to stay?

Vidor was in the news a number of years ago as being one of the only communities in the US that had NO black residents. Totally by the black people's choice, according to the town manager, they were perfectly welcome, but none chose to move there.

Don't know if this anomaly has anything to do with that one, but it makes ya go hmmmm...

It's well known in Texas as the headquarters of the KKK.

I lived in a town in the 70's that had almost no black families. There were so few living there, that the teen son of one family was dating white girls and no one ever said a word. That was extremely rare in the South in the 70's. It was almost like racism never came to town. When he went to college, he said he had a hard time because he didn't know how to be "black". He was basically a dark-skinned hillbilly. His parents chose that area so their child could be brought up without expectations based on his color.

That's why I never believed that Bell Curve crap. It's all environment.
