DFW is pretty diverse - lots of POC, large populations of Hispanic, Indian, and Southeast Asian folks as well. We apparently have some of the best Laotian food in the country. Who knew?

However, DFW is also still fairly segregated, especially Dallas. This is due to some red lining and other discriminatory housing policies that didn’t get changed/struck down until as recently as the 1980s.

There are lots of “cops” in downtown FW - but that’s because the Bass family pays for them to be there so people will feel safe and patronize the businesses in Sundance Square. The Bass family owns most of downtown FW.

Plenty of POC that I saw there but I also noticed q TON of cops, which scared me. But in general aside from that I really liked it. If you have a chance to try Toro Toro (new pan Latin steak house) it was amazing food

The greater Dfw area is like 45% white so not sure your definition of "diverse"

I’ve seen much more diversity in Dallas but Fort Worth doesn’t seem to be nearly as diverse

Elizabeth Warren used to live there if that counts. I think it was before she become the first woman of color to teach at Harvard Law School.

I can assure you there are PLENTY of people of color in that area. Walk around downtown

FTW is definitely less diverse than Dallas. However, I think it’s still a friendly and overall welcoming area because there is diversity in the metroplex as a whole as people stated.
