It was primarily white/Latino, I remember maybe four AA kids in school (and two were brother/sister) but it was never really racist. Nowadays Greenway is majority-minority I believe.
Agree about the arena mostly just being available, although I think in the case of Harris they probably needed the capacity as well - I belieive it is the largest indoor venue in the Phoenix area.
