No thanks-Houston has always seemed about as liberal as Austin-and they think that anyone who even has a Spanish surname must either be an immigrant-legal or illegal or a first-generation American-and therefore sympathetic to their ridiculous divisive crap.
Houston is also the only place in Texas where I’ve ever been called a “f’in Mexican”, too-because I said something risqué about someone’s outfit in Spanish to my husband at a concert, not wanting to be understood by anyone. That was a few years ago, but yeah, they’re really tolerant and inclusive there...
love that sourdough
Sorry you had such a bad experience. I worked in Houston for 20 years and recently retired. I have quite a number of Hispanic friends in Houston and have moved around the edges of the Houston political scene for years as a disinterested observer. It’s really rather amusing. Within the city limits of Houston, there are something like 20~40 “Republicans”; everyone else is a fawning Democrat. That leaves the Hispanics and the Blacks to fight over control of the Democrat party and positions of political office in the City. I’m glad to be out of the situation, its getting more and more tense. I have little doubt Texas will turn “blue”; demographics are destiny and the Democrat control of the Urban political machines insures Democrat victories. Election fraud has been refined to a science in those counties and the result is ever decreasing voter participation.
