Dodge City residents react to controversial Esquire article
Dodge City readers find Esquire's November issue hard to obtain as the Chamber of Commerce allegedly bought up copies over a piece by Michael Paterniti on race relations. The article, centered on rancher Jack Hooker and hotel owner Donna Sinhprasent, sparks claims of white resentment toward Asian Americans who work in local slaughterhouses. Endorsing views blame minority groups, the piece prompts denials and critiques from Chamber president John Campbell and local business owner Cleone Young, while Sinhprasent acknowledges some accuracy about town tensions.
