OhioDesi

I live in Kansas City and I can't begin to tell you how receptive the people here are about latinos/ hispanics. The population here on the Missouri and Kansas side are both growing :?, and you couldn't believe the food varieties even super wal-mart and target have out here for the latino/ hispanic population. Anyways, I do not want to get into politics but I have heard locals & latinos even say that they believe Ohio is a RED state ( whether that's good or bad i dont want to get in to) Around this metro, which is growing so fast, most of the people say they elect "blue" officials ( I think Kansas & Missouri have either 1 democratic senator and/ or gov....but i'm not positive). I think there is a misconception about Ohio in that it's not welcoming. The hispanics here don't have much to say if not anything about Ohio. In general, Ohio doesn't even appear on their radar. Cleveland Indians is about the most I get out of the latinos here. But about the question if Hispanics are key to Ohio's growth, I think people in general moving to Ohio is key to growth, I don't care what race or ethnicity [ I am Asian Indian]. The officials down in Columbus need to understand this & figure out a way to get the crowds moving here rather than the rest of America.
