In San Antonio, I lived on the near north side and the northeast side. The near north side, being less diverse, was far worse than the northeast side.
I never understood why ppl would choose to live in San Antonio and dislike Hispanics. It's like living in Atlanta and disliking black people or living in San Francisco and disliking Asian people; makes no sense.

You just reminded me of my great grandma and grandma who both spoke German fluently to each other. While they mostly spoke English to everyone else...between the two of them...it was mostly German. Sadly it was never passed on to any of us.

One day when I was a kid at my brother's baseball game, some people were speaking Spanish very loudly so they started going off in German very loudly. The reaction was hilarious now that I think about it.

I am the same way..i went to school out there and I will never go back.

There are some REAL psycho folks over there. Must be something in the water. I'm white, I don't stop any where in that part of Texas.
Fredricksburg, I doubt you'd have any issues there. If you do, probably isn't a native Texan but some import that brought his BS with him.
or it could be someone from east texas.

I drove by Vidor a few weeks ago on my way to Louisiana. Gave me the creeps just to see the sign. I'd be happy to give that strip of east Texas to another state.
A lot of the people there have relatives from louisiana

Texas is a huge place though, and not just the geography and flora and fauna will very widely within its' boundaries , social customs do too. North Texas is very different from deep south Texas etc., and East Texas is very different also. Customs resemble the deep south states than they do here.
Unlike Trapper I was never fired at while working in East Texas and Louisiana in the oil fields, years ago ,in the seventies. From Houston to Baton Rouge. However.
East Texas is living in the past yet and unlikely to give up the old ways soon I think. While living up north I once met a girl from Orange, Texas which is right on the Texas - Louisiana state line- strangely enough,while I was living in Michigan, no less. What were the chances?
She spoke with quite a Texas twang. Soon afterward I met Chrissie's mother. I thought since these were native Texican girls from back home just like me, surely,- I would be familiar with their ways.

Soon afterwards, the girl's mother asked me if,
" I would like to eat Boudins for supper tomorrow night?"
" Sure ! " I had no idea, so I asked.
" What's a Boudin ?" .

I have never eaten a crayfish yet, but I might. ( I think they are fond of crawdads and grits over that way) I did try the Boudins however.

Then again I have never tried the Tripitas around here either. But I might. Someday.
Yeah thats how they sucker you into their culture. If you don't do the things that they do, they look at you weird.

Southeast Texas isn't as pretty, but it has a very rich culture and the best food in the state.
I used to live there..definitely does NOT have the best food in the state..not by a long shot.

have a friend who is hispanic that lives in Austin. He told me that girls wouldn't even talk to him..and some even flat out told him that they would not date him because he was hispanic..he actually drove to San Antonio every weekend just to get away.

San Antonio is way worse if you are Hispanic than Austin. Besides women in Austin are a lot more attractive.
