I'm all for whatever reasons we can bring up in here to keep more fools from flocking here.

Strange, I have lived 33 years in Houston, 32 of them with a woman of another race and never received a single negative comment. You are correct though. We got all the people we need now. Ya damn Yankees stay home, we much prefer Mexicans. The women are prettier and the men work.

I've been married to a woman from Spain for 13 years now, I've never heard a single comment either.

The only negative comment I have ever heard is "What is that pretty gal doing with you?"

90% of the comments in this thread are about the OP not being able to count.

So the Houston metro itself might come close to passing New York City but not the city of Houston alone--for a long while.

If the city of Houston were to pass NYC it'd have to be a much denser city--or annex surrounding towns or a combination of both.
And if you compare the Houston Metro to the NYC Metro, Houston is at 6 million and NYC Metro is almost 20 million people.

OOOOOO

The sarcasm isn't going to work. I've seen your comments and I know you have an obsession with race. Why not just answer the question?

Well, I'm not Mexican. I look at Houston vs Atlanta, and I would say there are more jobs in Houston than Atlanta. If a job offer comes out of Houston, I will be on the next plane to Houston. If a job offer comes out of any other city, I'm going there.
