Fort Bend going Democrat? (Houston, San Antonio: home, live in, eat)

The difference is one group promotes the other, while the other group promotes themselves. That is a 180 degree reversal from what you said was 50 years ago.
One of you when describing how many different cuisines are available in Houston provided a list, but the list was missing things like BBQ or "southern food". I see a pattern, when some items are missing from lists, it is not by mistake.
There was a good reason for being harsh on foreigners speaking foreign languages publicly, to promote assimilation and social cohesion for the common good of everyone. Not doing it is like giving money to a drug addict cousin. You want him high or healthy?

Actually you are the one promoting a change, that started in your lifetime, and is now almost complete.

This is all very confusing to me.

Good lord, there’s not a lot of Asian restaurants somewhere because of liberals, it’s because there’s a market for it.

Is that the truth. Otherwise Portland would have the best Asian food in the country and it definitely doesnt.

Nooo ... San Antonio was founded in 1691. It was part of Mexico until Texas became a state in 1845. Families around here go back many generations. White people and the American influence are the new arrivals.

So this should be government policy as a way of forcing immigrants to open more BBQ wing restaurants?

Or white people should boycott Asian restaurants to force them to provide BBQ wings?

You said you're originally from Europe. What country? Maybe Hungary or one of the former Soviet republics?

Well bueno, sorry to hear you’re having such a tough time in CA. An understanding of the history of the area (and the state), coupled with knowledge of basic human behavior, will help provide a better understanding of the situation. It’s been many years since I’ve lived in the area, so I can not comment on the changes.

As for restaurants other than Asian, we certainly have it here in the Houston and Sugar Land area. Come on down if you’re looking for BBQ, Tex-Mex, French, Italian, American/Continental, and all the fusions thereof.

I don’t know how “Americanized” they are (the definition seems to vary based on the region), but I know a few Vietnamese and other Asians who are certainly “Aggie-ized” (Texas A&M), “Cougar-ized” (U of H) and “Longhorn-ized” (UT). (And some even go to the rodeo)

And as mentioned, you are certainly free to move to other regions of this vast country that may be more suitable for you.

They seem to be already boycotting something...

You should check in San Jose CA how many asian restaurants and how many american restaurants you find. The ratio is something like 20:1, that is my personal experience. A healthy ratio would be a 1:2.
I am starting to think that some opinions in this forum come from activists, that are way off from the average person, or maybe really Fort Bend (and Houston) is going Democrat as the topic title says.
I have been to Austin, New York, Miami, Florida Keys, Hawaii islands, these are all in the USA and I was able to find local culture/cuisine easily in all those places, except in Northern California where I live. I was wondering which is closer to Houston. In NorCal it is the liberals that make the local culture disappear.
Someone said celebrating all cultures. Why? Accepting and celebrating is not the same thing. Shooting over the target too much.

That is capitalist for you. The people who are opening the restaurants are to blame, not the politicians. No one can make someone open a restaurant and no one can make one successful if people don't want to eat there.
