I really hate this place. Especially the people.

There, I said it. Every day, I get angry living in this city. People have commented on the traffic, the disgusting air, and lack of public transport. But what I hate the most are the people.
The people here, specifically the whites, are the biggest two-faced racist, lying hypocrites I have ever encountered. It's terrible to be Muslim, or even anybody of a different religion or ethnicity. You either get people who are sweet and nice in front of your face, but then they make utterly rude comments about other ethnicities and cultures on social media. Or you get people that call you a gang rapist, a terrorist, a suicide bomber, a towel head, etc. at your face. What's so great about a place with high-paying jobs and diversity when the white majority is untrustworthy and xenophobic?
Compare this to places like London or Sydney. People in these places are far more civilised and accepting than people here, not to mention educated and well-travelled. Even if they may not be the cleanest cities in the world, these cities are nevertheless far cleaner than Houston. What's funny is that the people in the aforementioned cities can speak better English, even the immigrants, than the locals here. The locals berate anyone that can't speak English, which is very laughable considering they are borderline illiterate and can't pronounce words properly.
If it's not the disgusting racist attitudes, then it's the boorishness and obesity of the populace. I've seen trash dumped in creeks and other places. I've seen people being out-of-shape. Yet these same people lecture me on how I should live.
Coming here to Houston made me realise that the USA is not advanced at all. I am in utter disbelief that places like Pearland, Friendswood, League City, etc. are considered the nicer parts of the Houston area, with Houston being considered as the best place to live in the USA especially compared to "liberal" and "socialist" places, whatever that means. As soon as I save enough money and land a job elsewhere, I am out of America. Good riddance.
