Stuck up and conservative are not synonymous. The city of Dallas just approved LGBT protections into the city charter by a popular vote of over 75%. I would not call that conservative or bigoted.

Dallas is also less than 30% white. So again, incorrect.

His post was BS. End of story.
Dallas is extremely racist. And for your information, Dallas is more than 50% European American. And no one was even talking about homosexuals or cross dressers, so why you threw that tidbit of information into the mix is beyond me.

Does DFW have anything that looks like the northern half of Greater Houston? Pines? Winding roads? Typical southern appearance?

There is racism everywhere. Ive lived in LA, DC, Chicago, and Dallas. Dallas is no more or less racist than any other place Ive lived.

DFW as a metro area is just under 50% white and the city of Dallas is less than 30% white. Below is the link that proves Im right:

That link you posted is for the entire U.S. population, not just Dallas. Furthermore, it doesn't say anything about a 30% European American population. Here you go.

DFW is by far the most racist area that I've ever lived in.

If you read your own link, you would see Dallas is more than 40% Hispanic. Dallas is 28.8% non Hispanic white.

White alone, percent, 2010 (a) 50.7%

^^^That's a direct cut and paste.

White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent, 2010 28.8%

^^^^So is this.

Are you familiar with how the census categorizes different ethnicities? You don't seem to be. White is a race, Hispanic is an ethnicity. Some people who appear white in skin are actually from Mexico, El Salvador, Peru, or anywhere else in Latin America.

28.8% is the number of people who are NOT Hispanic in Dallas. They are white of European descent.

42.4% is the number of people who ARE Hispanic in Dallas. They are people who are from or who descend from Latin American nations.

Dallas is 28.8% European descent white. End of story. Dallas is not over 50% European white as you claim.

The link above is easier to understand for you.

Yes, I am familiar with the confusing and arbitrary way in which people of the European descent race classify others and how those classifications are used, designed, and manipulated to fit their agenda. According to the government census, Dallas is over 50% European American...

No, you DONT get it.

Let me try and explain it this way. Do you think Los Angeles is 50% white? Well, by you're reasoning it is.

Los Angeles (city) QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau

And New York is over 70% white:

New York QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau

You don't get it. If you are Hispanic, you are NOT European unless you are from Spain. Dallas has very few if any residents from Spain.

Dallas is 28.8% EUROPEAN WHITE.

I already said I thought Houston had an edge on food. I cannot however see a drastic superiority. And yes, I have eaten extensively in both.
Well my bias doesn't go as far as you think it does. It's pretty much limited to the things that are exclusive to the Gulf Coast, but there areseveral things I think Dallas is better at.

When it comes to ethnic food options the two cities are pretty close. It's regional and local food is where Houston has a major upper hand. What it really comes down to is the fact that Houston has just about everything Dallas does along with a host of things it doesn't.
