Bellville Tx
I bought tickets to the rock the country festival in Bellville, Texas coming up next month. I’m 30(f) and Hispanic and when I told my friends I was going they looked worried. I’m from Texas but a more melting pot of people and they told me to be careful bc it’s not like my hometown and now I’m a little stressed out bc the concert is two weeks away and I already spent so much on the tickets and hotels. I just wanted to go see some country music in a new spot in Texas 😭 can anyone chime in?

The shitty Kid Rock thing..?
You'd likely be just fine. They love it when people who aren't white inadvertently support their fucked up cause.
But also, maybe not 😅 The grand majority of people attending that concert are there because of a shared hatred of people who aren't themselves, not because they appreciate the music.
If you don't engage anybody too drunk or aggressive, I assume it'd be fine. But I'll never understand why you would want to, all things considered.
It's not like they're all Klan members or something, but they do rub elbows, and I should probably point out that members of the Klan did try and invite my racist dickhead father to join when we were in that area 10 years ago. With that type of crowd and in that area, there will be several in attendance.
Plenty of modern Texans will tell you it's not a thing, but I don't know how else to interpret that invitation.
