You shouldn't have too much of a hard time unless you're in one of the smaller towns. My bf lived in Texas and I asked him the same exact thing because i've heard things like that too and I was afraid they'd try to do something to us. He says that the bigger cities are fine and that you shouldn't be discriminated against. Houston's a pretty decent place from what he's said. His ex wife was black and they lived in Texas for 3 years without any problems. There's actually a lot of interracial couples living in Texas these days . Hope this helps dear.

I don't think you will have anything to worry about Vampira. Since this is a vacation I assume you are going to one of the bigger cities. So there would be no problem as Angel has already stated.

Stay in Houston and shouldn't be a problem.

this was already said in one way or another but as long as your in the city I doubt the mixed race relationship will be an issue because in the cities around here its really common...

Also, just on the gamer tip, A LOT of the games I'm sure you're a fan of were made in Houston (gears of war, for example) so if you want to see sights maybe the game places out there give tours I could give better advice on Dallas since I've been there but I'm sure Houston has a lot of things to go do, maybe even a zoo (the dallas zoo is pretty huge)... But yeah, theres not to much to worry about in the city.

Oh! I'm sure you wont be going into the inner INNER city (the ghetto) but Thats where the drugs and guns come into the picture, thought I'd throw that inthere since you asked about guns and what not.

I dont know where you'll be staying but a good rule of thumb is to knock out your shoes and stuff before putting them on just because it is texas and they have a lot of things that will bite you and no place can keep 100% of everything out

I think you'll have a great time regardless of what you actually do while your out there, I liked Texas when I was there and there's plenty to go and see even if you just drive around the big empty... I think the bigest problem you'll have is driving on the "wrong" side of the road (we drive on the right and all the drivers stuffs on the left)

^^^^ omgg YOU LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY WOMAN!!! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo freakin' jealous.


I'd dad's left leg to meet Jeff Hardy, I would.

Remember Emmature? She's from Texas, you may ask her...

I glad; I just want you to be safe.

Waves to Texas!!!

Hope your having a really great time!!!

Anyone heard from Vampira?

Madam is fine and arrived there safely. They were off to the zoo today and then to meet the wrestlers tonight.

I'm hoping she has enough room to bring the Undertaker back for me

Now what will you do with the Undertaker's body Mrs. D?

I am happy Vampira and her bf made it safe and sound .. I know that trip had to be long and left them both sleepy.

I would endeavour to raise him from his undead status!

Oh my *images* of raising the dead and lifeless.

Hun I suspect that you are actually just as bad as me! Yay!

^^ I hope you're willing to share him with me once you get a hold of him

I think I might have mentioned this at one time on the old forums but the Undertaker looks a lot like Semyaza.

Worryeth not, fair vampira. Even in my smaller town I know... (counts on fingers) 6 mixed-race young couples. With the Mexican influx, indegenous population, and freed slaves from the confederate days (not to mention oil and Nasa, which have made this a tech and thus Asian-scientist-friendly place) we're actually a "Minority Majority" state now. My own university is 35% black.

So no- you've got NOTHING to worry about. There's the occasional jerk in any country, but don't mind them.


While in Houston, you'd be remiss if you did not check out the Rothko Chapel. It's a non-denominational modern art spiritual experience. I secretly kind of resent Rothko's art, but go anyway to decide for yourself. The paintings in it were originally intended for the Seagram building in NYC, but Rothko said something like f-this capitalist place and did his own thing.

My Houstonian boyfriend says that if you don't go to the space center you're crazy. I've never been, but the way he describes it, he's right.

Also, the botanical dome thingy- I think it's off a museum of natural science- they made a whole rainforest in a dome with butterflies EVERYWHERE. It's gorgeous!

Above all else, enjoy the currency exchange! When I went to England I cried whenever I switched from dollars to pounds. Oh, the things you can buy....

Thanks Helen!

It's great to know they're ok and having such a good time from what you've said! Well now, seems to be there's been some naughty naughty going on in this thread! Can't wait to hear all about their trip and what she brings back with her.
