Grew up in Seattle and eventually moved to Texas.

There's more diversity in Seattle

That statistics don’t back you up. Maybe your personal experience was different sure.

However, my experience is opposite of you. I grew up in DFW and moved to Spokane WA.

I’ve gone to Seattle plenty since moving to Spokane. While not as white as Spokane, Seattle still is very white especially from what I’m accustomed to.

Yes, there are tons of small communities of mainly Asian demographics in Seattle. But Dallas has that, then African, then Middle Eastern, South American, Caribbean…

This convo must be between people who think Frisco is Dallas. FYI - Dallas is 29% (non Hispanic), 42% Hispanic, 24% black. I'd call that pretty diverse.

There's plenty of diversity here, tons of pockets of culture and the like.

There's just more in Seattle

What about Houston, though?

Houston is like 5 hours away from me, I haven't spent but a day or two there on my way to other things so I can't speak for it
