San Antonio is unique and I have been mostly proud of being from here because we DON'T usually get caught up in this crap. That is we didn't until the previous round of tearing down statues and changing names. Robert E, Lee Hight School got a makeover as L.E.E. High School.

It is a blue city and always in the top 10 largest cities in the US but for whatever reason we have always kept our "small town" persona. (which screws us when we need big city decisions). For the most part, no one screws with the city, its heritage and history because one thing Hispanics and whites always agree upon is taking pride in it. As noted by events in the country, blacks do not share in that but they were always a small silent minority. Now they're just a big-mouthed, small minority.
I've never been around much racism here. I didn't even know what it was until we left here for DC. I still don't see much of it. My neighbors are Hispanic, black and white with a smattering of the usual Arab and Indians. Everybody waves hello. Hah. My next door neighbors to the left are gay, and to the right Brazilian.
A POS is a POS and not limited by ethnicity; although, as we can see, ethnicity CAN limit some people.
