In reply to the discussion: Fears of White People Losing Out Permeate Capitol Rioters' Towns, Study Finds [View all]Lonestarblue
(9,988 posts)14. Actually, the WaPo article cited Texans in areas that had seen the most loss of white residents.
Texas had around 36 people I think who attacked the Capitol. Several of them were from Collin County north of Dallas that had seen more minorities moving into their neighborhoods. I can only surmise that the insurrectionists get angry when they see minorities moving into their neighborhoods because it means those same minorities can afford the same housing they can, which puts them on equal footingand thats the source of resentment.
