Factor in the racist factor for Texas vs the N.E.
Ryan, you would be viewed as an uppity black man.
It bad enough that I've been called a n***** here.

NO ONE can complain about the SoCal Weather, and that is what OLD FOLKS are most sensitive to. (I know I sure am!)
us CODGERS can't even COMPREHEND having to SHOVEL SNOW day after day, October to May. SNOW SUCKS (unless U are a Skiier) NO SNOW HERE in San Diego, except up in the mountains on rare occasions. Us old foks like to be very comfortable, in our Rest Homes. Easy to walk with our Walkers here in San Diego. We have our Oxegyn bottles and DEPENDS. Our Hospital gowns and Blue Hair. Our Scooters and our GREAT GRANDCHILDREN. Nope, I just couldn't FATHOM living anywhere but San Diego. Hawaii might not be too bad, but they have big SPIDERS there.
Yep, that's another reason why New York sucks for retirement, especially upstate NY. They get an unbelievable amount of snow. Either you pay someone to remove it or break your back doing it. Snow blowers make it a hell of a lot easier but you still have to get out in the cold to do it.
They elected Governor Nikki Haley who is an (American born) Indian.
There are absolutely some places which will not see past the color of your skin, as there are in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, Colorado and other states. But that doesn't mean you can't find somewhere where you can get along with people.
I do in fact have relatives in Texas (DFW). They love it there.
You'll find racism everywhere you go. Even in Trinidad and Tobago there were places where if you are not black you are not welcome.

That's a stupid question. You know how she got elected because you cowtow to the same people that she does.
Is THAT the answer you wanted? You know it's true. She's pushing their agenda, said all the right things, had the right people, Sarah Palin talk nice about her and the fact that she has Indian background and is a woman makes her a useful tool in the GOP agenda.
BTW, I know you're not black. I've seen pictures of you or your evil twin of the same name traced back to the India/Pakistan area. You are however missing the point, you would be called a racial slur in Texas, likely to your face. The difference is that in SC, until the last couple of years that is, people did that kind of thing behind your back. Now with the Radicals taking over the GOP, it's back to the open racism of the past unless of course you can be a useful tool.
Sure, some people will treat you with respect. They're not the ones you have to worry about.
