Segregation--Looking at my Surroundings

While traveling through Waukesha, you see many different restaurants and retail stores catered to the cities ethnic population. Since our city has a very large Mexican influence most of our stores are focused on their culture.
Here in this picture we have a grocery store on Sunset drive in Waukesha called "Panos" this store sells ingredients for the Mexican culture that you could not find in regular grocery stores.

Sunsetta is another shop that specializes in ethnic hair cuts. Ethnic hair is very different than the average white persons hair, there is a lot more involved with how you cut it. I am a hairstylist and I have found that people such as Mexican Americans, African Americans, and Indian races all try and go to places with people of the same race that know how to cut their hair type. Places such as Sunsetta make for segregation because cultures don't seem to venture out and try different places, they stick to what is comfortable.
