Does Texas have more problems with racism, perceived or otherwise, than any other place on earth? Or is this just a couple of people hungry for attention, who feel they haven’t received enough from the local authorities and press?

When I lived in Garland, Texas, (about an hour from Arlington), I remember watching a new (Hispanic) family move into our neighborhood. My across the street neighbor walked over to me and whispered, "There goes the neighborhood." (Yes, she actually said that exact phrase.)

BTW, she was black.

I had an elderly neighbor who was black and she was highly prejudiced against Asians, not surprising since she had been an Army nurse during WWII. My father felt the same way about Asians for a couple decades following his sevice in WWII. Only thing is, my neighbor’s grandson married a Korean woman, a very nice person, but his grandma said to me, “you just can’t trust those people”.
