Perhaps you were confused by the misleading way the data is reported. Bottom line, El Paso is heavily Hispanic.
82.0% White alone
80.8% White alone, Hispanic or Latino
13.4% White alone, not Hispanic or Latino
3.8% Black or African American alone
0.6% American Indian and Alaska Native alone
2.4% Two or More Races
Yes, about 80% Hispanic.
Agree, very misleading way to report numbers. Must be CommieCore method of reporting stats :-)
