> It's worth pointing out that this is in no small part because Houston is affordable.

This is an under appreciated point. Texas in general, has some of the most organically diverse places I’ve been to. Low taxes, low regulation, and low housing costs have done a lot to attract a diverse set of people from the rest of the country, and from other countries. It’s a place where people of color are building families, businesses, and thriving.

This is so true. I grew up in California and was led to believe that it was one of the most diverse places yet it does not hold a candle to where I live now in Houston.
