I don't know what to tell you. I work right in the center of downtown. I know the people who work in my building, and I see the faces on the streets when I walk around. I see things much differently.
And the demographics say what you're saying is flat out wrong. There are more "minorities" in Austin than White people. And since this whole discussion is about your statement insinuating Austin used to have more minorities than now, it's utterly ridiculous.
Ain't nothing wrong with it, it's your life, but it tells me you live in a bubble. Your neighborhood is super White, so Austin must be. Your friends and co-workers are super White, so Austin must be. Where you hang out is super White....
In my day to day life it's not uncommon for me as a White person to be in the minority. I shop at HEB, I go to chain stores in strip malls, and I take my daughter to all types of kid friendly places like the Thinkery, story times at the library, splash pads, school related events, go to the movies (not the Drafthouse). Again, often times we as White people are the minority. Certainly nothing wrong with that, just saying.
I also don't live in Barton Hills or Tarrytown, shop at Whole Foods, eat at pricey restaurants, drink at trendy bars, go to ACL tapings, etc.
Anyways, my rant is over. I'm sure your viewpoint isn't changed. Big waste of time. It's just interesting to see how your experience is so much different than mine.
Peace!
