No Laredo, Brownsville, or El Paso.
I really wished they considered a majority Hispanic community that has the capacity to grow. This is just going to increase in-quality. Sad really.
Let's hope for Miami.
Or maybe let's not turn every corporate decision into a race war.

They can always move for work just like most people already do if they end up working for Amazon now in Seattle. There's also likely going to a serious spike in living costs within any reasonable commute around the headquarters, so the net impact on the statistically poorer African Americans population in these cities would be pretty unlikely to be a positive one.

Let's hope for Atlanta.
