Cities in Texas
My husband and I were thinking about moving to Florida but recently changed our minds. We are an interracial couple (I am black and he is white) and we are looking for a very diverse area where there aren't many racial issues. I grew up having friends of different races and that is the way I want my children to grow up. Any suggestions?

There are interracial couples all over Ft Worth, Dallas and Houston. You shouldn't have any issues in the big cities of Texas.

I would think anywhere where you have a "melting pot" type enviorment, including large cities, or cities with military bases, you would do fine. Good examples would be what was mentioned above by Dangerfield and USC619, as well as places like San Antonio, Wichita Falls, Abilene. Big college towns would probably be alright too.
