Clever one, you seem to be implying that Atlanta is more ethnically diverse than Dallas and Houston. Can you post the data here to prove that?
Ive posted it seveal times including this one I think. I had even color coded each cities and when they were ranked and counted how many times each city showed up. Atlanta does way more/ The difference is where Houston and Dallas shows up is that they have really high numbers from those countries wheres as Atlanta shows up ore frequently.
The order of the MSAs represented below is ordered by the sum of each country for the MSAs descending.

I dont think it is drastically different than Dallas or Houston in terms of diversity.
As a state, Texas is definitely Red, however; the major metro areas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio) are all actually quite blue.
I will give Cleverone however the notion of Atlanta electing the first black Mayor however. I dont think that will be coming to Texas for some time despite its blue urban areas.
Well I dont know why?But why not an Hispanic Mayor of those two cities in the poll?
Dallas does have 1 subway station (CityPlace/Uptown) with a second one being planned under Downtown. Knox-Henderson, the next neighborhood up from Uptown, was planned to have one back in 1990 but was unfortunately nixed thanks to NIMBY's. Ironically, it has neighborhood support for one today but just not the funding. Ugh, go figure. Houston is essentially built on a swamp and prone to flooding, so a subway there would mostly be impractical. Miami is also similar in that sense.
Alpharetta for example has a black population of 12.2% and a white population dominating at 67%.
Comparatively Plano has a black population of 8.4% and Frisco at 7.9% // then a white population of 65.6% in Plano and 67.2% in Frisco. The 'real' major differences is there are other races intermingled in there. Both Frisco and Plano have higher Hispanic percentages, and similar Asian demographics.
The real differences come in the city proper of Atlanta and Dallas where Atlanta is 50% black and 40% white (and this is also slowly changing due to gentrification in the core) where as Dallas is predominately white in the core with sprinkles of everything else. Add on to that Dallas encompassed a much larger area than Atlanta proper and the results get a bit skewed. Atlanta is definitely more progressive in terms of black culture than Dallas is but...that doesn't necessarily equal more diverse.
Again Dallas is more segregated. im not knocking Dallas for being in Texas near Mexico so why use Atlanta because its history of balcks being there longer?
Again you are talking boundaries that are fair to compare.If we did Fulton/Dallas county its not much difference. Dallas has a greater Asian percentage https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fa...rgia/PST045219
Again Dallas IS MORE SEGREGATED so what there to brag about?

Ok I said SYSTEM not a station. You bringing a station up proves my point.lol That not progressive.
Especially when they only built it less than 10 years ago compared to Atlanta SYSTEM in 1971
Well you may think that but there just isnt any data that says that.There is data that says the opposite however.
Dallas is way more segregated than Atlanta and apparently its getting worse: https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/c...t-be-reversed/
Dallas ranks 58 out of 100 in Black White Segregation and Latino-Whit Segregation which is better but is behind Atlanta which ranks 41 Black/white and 26 Latino/White https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/les...ore-prosperous
So like I said before,blacks can do fine there like anywhere but its got a lot to do before its seen as a place more welcoming to blacks than other places.
Houston is more in line with Atlanta according to the study.
Atlanta is as diverse a Dallas in the metro .At least not enough where you insisting Atlanta is "much more white and black" that it would matter.Nice try.
Most places you can go and thrive.Dallas is nothing special
Wait man, I think youre mis-interpreting those numbers. They are ranking them in order of most segregated, not most integrated.
The higher the ranking, the less segregated in that link you posted. If Dallas ranks 58 out of 100 and Atlanta ranks 41 out of 100 in black/white segregation, that means Dallas is more integrated than Atlanta between blacks and whites.
The city that ranked number one is Milwaukee. The city that ranked number 100 is Eugene, OR. Milwaukee is widely credited as one of the most segregated cities in America and Eugene has such a small black population that its far more likely to be integrated.
According to your link Dallas is more integrated among whites and blacks and whites and Hispanics though the later gap is small.
Ive posted it seveal times including this one I think. I had even color coded each cities and when they were ranked and counted how many times each city showed up. Atlanta does way more/ The difference is where Houston and Dallas shows up is that they have really high numbers from those countries wheres as Atlanta shows up ore frequently.
Thats a bit too abstract to measure diversity. It should be based on the numbers the metro area has relative to the other three, not just which ones rank in the top 10 nationally. If a city has 10 people from a country but its still top 10 nationally, thats meaningless.
Ill try and break the numbers down further based on the 2018 estimates.

Dallas's CityPlace/Uptown subway station has been around since 2000, so 20 years. DART Rail began 4 years earlier in 1996. Equating a subway system with progressivism is a matter of opinion. There's more to mobility than that. As I mentioned in the cases of Houston and Miami, it's perhaps too impractical from a terrain/climate POV to have a subway system.
I dont think it is drastically different than Dallas or Houston in terms of diversity.

Atlanta metro is more diverse than people give it credit for especially in Gwinnett. Gwinnett is one of the most diverse counties in the nation along with Houston's Fort Bend County. With that said, having lived in both Houston is definitely more noticeably diverse than Atlanta.
