But there are many rumblings regarding race among a lot of people within the ranks. There have even been rumors that Worthington is a triple K hotbed. (The previous is heresay with no factual basis - only relaying what I have heard).

I would agree that we have along way in Kitt to go as far as race relations are concerned. If my memory serves me correctly,there is/was a dance club on market street that was owned by a black guy & last year someone smashed in the front window. Turned out the culprit was the upstairs tenant who didn't like blacks. The town is not what I would call minority friendly but neither is it out & out racist but I am speaking as a 29 yr. old white person.
