I believe Harris County is already that way (minority-majority county) and Fort Bend County is getting there.

I would say Ft. Bend is probably there already along with Harris County. The reason why the metro isn't minority-majority yet is probably because of Montgomery County.

If I can take a break from being super serious, that was funny.
