That's a horrible story ... but there's something funny about it.

It's Socorro TX, near El Paso. Thinking about it, knowing what border TX is like, I figured that place has to be 90%+ hispanic. So I looked it up and yeah, it's actually 97.1% hispanic. There are only 86 black people total in a city with over 30K people, almost all of whom are hispanic.

  • Hispanic - 30,331 (97.1%)
  • White alone - 498 (1.6%)
  • American Indian alone - 253 (0.8%)
  • Black alone - 86 (0.3%)
  • Other race alone - 38 (0.1%)
  • Two or more races - 23 (0.07%)
  • Asian alone - 11 (0.04%)

      It ought to be easy to find the four black guys, there are only 86 there. There might be fewer after this incident.
