They keep saying "inclusiveness" talking about these southern states. That's really watering down the actual problem which is overt racism. We need words that actually describe what they mean, and the issue in those states is racism.
It's not just racism though. It's also misogyny and anti-LGBTQ+.
Ok, bigotry.
Then homophobia and sexism too. When I read "inclusivity" I interpret that to mean that the populace isn't very blended, or that they're not doing enough to promote every culture. But that's not what is happening. There's a big difference between not being inclusive, and being actively exclusive or hostile.

very astute. the gay clubs in austin will play latin music, but they're very careful not to play too much mexican music because the popular consensus with the managers at all 4 clubs is that mexicans cause property damage.
selena and other tejanos gets a pass because she's texan royalty; but that's the closest thing to mexican music you're going to hear.
it's also not just anti-lgbtq; the bigotry has many layers.
the lgbq people in austin are also anti-chubby, anti-feminine, anti-trans, anti-mature, etc.
even the liberals in austin are like: "follow the rules, especially the bigotry laden ones"
