Where were all the Mexicans?


Except for a few references to Mexican restaurants, I dont think I saw a single Mexican character during the whole show's run. In Texas? Seriously?

through lots of picture,s, the white faces look like they could be white mexicans but i doubt they are that, in the show..

well random internet per-county heatmaps for various years show that the highest hispanic population is along the border, starting in southwest and gradient decreasing as you go northeast. the farthest east texas have the lowest.. presumably all of it darker heatmaps now than the 90s

one example

so right now i'm thinking it's plausible as it is, for hypothetical date/location

Yeah, someone said on Quora that there were small towns in East Texas that were predominantly white.

Now when I think about it, pastor Jeff's first wife Selina was Mexican.

They're really good swimmers according to NYC mayor Adams, so they must have all been at swim meets and didn't audition.
