Wisconsin is more German than not, add in the other European immigrant descendents and we're a very white state outside of the cities and away from university campuses. And even in those environments, racial minorities are definitely in the minority. Yet, somehow, Wisconsin has substantial Hmong pockets, including a surprisingly large fraction of Wausau in central WI.For ideas on where to set the game - look into the UW system. The satellite campuses run as large as 5-10,000 students in towns much smaller than 200,000 people. Some of them have a lot of character. UW Lacrosse has been known to riot during their Octoberfest celebrations. UW Oshkosh has been known to riot just for being drunk. UW Whitewater feels a lot like a non-residential campus, so many of the students go home or other places on the weekends.</blockquote>
