Dallas. Wow!!

I'm pretty sure your experience was pretty normal. Most people consider the Dallas and Houston metro areas to be some of the more diverse cities in North America. So its normal to hear multiple different languages and have choice of authentic cuisines from every corner of the world.

Only people like this guy would think cities in Texas aren't diverse and worldly.

And he's got a serious case of Mako Poisoning.

The issue of the original claim was about only 20% speaking English. That was the silly part. No one ever disputed that the cities are diversified.

I’m thinking that was just based on his observation for that trip. Not sure what mall he went to or when he went, but wouldn’t really surprise me if the non-white patrons were well over 50%. The amount of Indians, Koreans, Vietnamese that live in the area is insane.

Of course there can be pockets anywhere, but to claim that is Dallas is not at all correct. Hyperbole and extrapolation has become common language these days, particularly on these kinds of topics. There are many that want everyone to believe we are being overrun.

True, but I don’t think that’s what bucktalk was getting at. But then again, I don't know him. So who knows.

My only point was my surprise how much change I saw in the particular part of Dallas I was visiting since I hadn't been there in several years. There is no hidden message or agenda.
