Having lived in both cities I can see the major difference between the 2. Austin is somewhat different. Everything you said about both populations is correct, but the overall FEEL and CLIMATE and DEMOGRAPHICS are different. Charlotte's demographics are: Southern Blacks, NYC Transplants, small but growing Hispanic population, small but growing Asian population, small but growing Caribbean and African population. Austins demographics are: Whites, California Transplant whites, LARGE Mexican population, decent but growing California and Southern black populations, decent but growing Nigerian population, small but growing Asian population.
and no offense, but i would hardly say that austin's black population is really all that decent. it's only about 10% which is less than the national average of 13%

Oh, it's not that bad... higher than a lot of other "favorite" cities.. like San Diego, Portland, San Diego, Seattle, San Francisco...

the black part of austin is killeen-ft hood lol
Good point. Austins black population is relatively small. That's why when I moved to Charlotte I was like WHOA!! I'm black myself(Haitian) so I didn't mind. But I miss the white people of Austin. I miss Austin. Charlotte is cool though. Man, UT lost about 45mins ago.

Austin's black population isn't the greatest no doubt. And i've often said that's one of the few things I dislike about the city. However, after doing the math Austin's black population is anywhere from about 60,000-70,000. Not totally bad. Combine that with the fact that Austin is surrounded by a couple of black meccas (Houston and Dallas) and Austin has a decent enough black population to where blacks here don't feel totally isolated (like they might in places like Seattle). Still, an extra 4 or 5% of the popluation would be nice lol.

Yes and the Aggies lost a heartbreaker to Purdue. When you coming back home to Texas. We Texan tend to move to other parts of the country and get home sick after a while.
More like half NY and half foreigners. I agree about the rude and nasty people. Look at where most are from though, and it's no wonder.
Lol, this is why I love South Florida, because theres a lot of "those people" aka my people, New Yorkers etc. There is a difference between being rude and nasty and being real and honest. A lot of people aren't used to the New York attitude, they're not used to people telling it like it is, most people are too laid back imo.
