I have watched many episodes of Home Town. It takes place in Laurel MS, a town where more than 50% of the population is black.

I have only once seen a black couple on the show and don’t think I have ever seen a black tradesperson. How is this possible in Laurel, MS?

Why doesn’t the show reflect the make up of the town?
