Thank you for pointing this out Carl Webb! In a 2013 Travis County fair housing study, Greater Austin was named the most economically segregated city in the United States. For the past two years, the Austin school district has posted the worst graduation rates for low-income students than was found in any other large urban school district in the state of Texas. Austin’s vaunted music scene and cultural arts community? There’s not one minority-themed “festival” the equal of a SXSW, ACL, Fun Fun Fun Fest, F1 Fan Fest, etc., as the City of Austin largely dedicates resources to Anglo event producers and consumers.
