That's why I like Texans so much. They took a great failure and turned it into a tourist destination that makes them millions. Texans don't bury their failures. They get inspired by them.

Texas is far more progressive and diverse than people imagine. Take the city of Houston, for instance, which is considered the most ethnically diverse city in America. Twenty percent of the population was born in some other country. It had more political refugees than any other city in America. It's had two black mayors and America's first lesbian mayor. It's considered by some metrics to have the highest standards of living in the whole country. These are not the images that people have of Houston or of Texas.
