Man the Dayton Mall used to be luxury.

So was the Salem Mall. When I shopped there, it was a really first-class place. Then the "minority youths" overran it. Now it's practically deserted. I think only Sears is still open. The parking lot is used during the Dayton Hamvention, which is now the only time I see what used to be the Mall.

Having that history as an example, the folks in Beaver Creek simply don't want their Mall destroyed by "minority youths" coming by bus from the ghetto.

Here's a strange situation. In Baltimore, there is a mall called Mondawmin. It is right on the subway line. For some reason, even though the clientele is 99.9% Amish, they don't have the yute problems that suburban "white" malls have.

Guess it's the "you don't poop where you eat" philosophy.

And when I would go there, (rarely) I was one of literally three non-black customers in a three story building, but I never felt threatened or unsafe.

Things may have changed in the past 20 years, though.
