Tobacco Retailers and Race

I was curious of tobacco retailers choose to locate their businesses in minority communities.
 
This seems true -- though I would caution that minority communities have more bodegas and fewer people with motor vehicles, so the presence of tobacco retailers might not be as large as the maps would suggest, as people with cars can cover more distance then people on foot.
