Actually, yes, read the previous blog post that this one is a follow-up to. As a long-time resident of Houston, he's tied himself into a well-known issue that's been talked about for some time [1][2][3]. (Heck, he probably linked a bunch of these in the previous article.) The point he's left out -- nearly every specific incident that's been discussed has revolved around a specific set of bars, that are, umm, largely seen as catering to the "bro" community. (I guess that's how you could call it.) There are a lot of popular bars/clubs outside of the area of these specific bars/clubs that have never been known to be racist. Note how nearly every bar he references in his data is within a mile or two of each other. I think the implied extrapolation out to all of Houston is a big stretch, and certainly doesn't follow my experience having lived here for nearly 20 years. But then again, I'm not looking for examples of racism. I'm certain they're easy to come across on all sides of the issue (black on white, white on black, black on brown, white on brown, and so forth) if you were to go looking.
