I live and work in the suburbs of Dallas. I'm also an openly LGBT Jew, and nobody gives me any problem. And the large Asian populations (Chinese, Indian, and Korean especially) in the suburbs here shows that lots of people of other races choose to live here over other places in the country. It's debatable over whether or not North Texas counts as "the midwest" (really, Texas can be divided into five sections, which go into separate regions), but I like to think of it as such. We're in Tornado Alley, and most of Dallas feels like a typical middle-American suburb.
