I'm getting tired of this unfounded claim that all suburbia is all-white. We live in Katy and my kids' elem school (largest in the district right now) is 48.56% white. Yes a big number I guess but not even the majority. The other 52% is African American, bi-racial, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, you name it. Just because the school is rated as exemplary-performing, or "economically disadvantaged" students are only 14.72%, doesn't mean it's all-white. And furthermore most of my so-called all-white suburbia mom friends have pretty progressive views. In fact many fellow crunchy types I interact with online in other states are constantly bemoaning how their *blue* states force agendas down their throats with mandating vaccines and public schooling/indoctrinating and outlawing things like homebirth and other options that ought to be no-brainer individual choices--NOT an issue in Houston, or 'burbs. As for fast food/chain joints, these do line the freeways and main roads for passers-through, and that's exactly how we view them; anyone who has lived here a month knows that. Please either research the meaning of "homogenous," or the numbers behind your claims.
