TX was nothing like I expected. The state overall is really diverse. It seems like the worst thing you have to deal with on a daily basis is an illegal mexican who works his/her a$$ off to make a living. I'd take that any day vrs what you have to deal with where I grew up.
I hated Philly...I couldn't go into certain neighborhoods because I am Korean. Don't really that that problem in TX.

Yeah, pretty much everyone who has not lived here has a prejudicial view on TX. That's fine, as it's growing despite that!
I have 4 hard working Latinos refurbishing our irrigation system on our land this week. Glad to have them: they
work!
Surprised about your comment on Philly (like the city). But yes, TX is welcoming and was built on immigrants w/ "can do" attitude. As The Economist said in a survey, if you want to see a vision of the US in several decades (mix etc) then TX is a model.
Reit: not from here and never lived here before this decade: like it, and not what most people outside think about the State
Really friendly. I lived in Manitoba where the 'plates say "Friendly Manitoba'
TX was way more welcoming in my personal experience than MB.
Last, 'W' did us a disfavor as I have had to disabuse my ex-U.S. relatives of their prejudice re TX based on his tenure in office.
