If I paid any attention to the local political ads, I'd be able to tell you.
Honestly, though, I think Texas Republicans are making a conscious effort to avoid the race issue. The Hispanic population is growing fast here and politicians generally know that pissing off the Hispanics will be political suicide. That isn't as much an issue in Massachusetts; there's less of a Hispanic presence up there.
So not all Republicans are racist, but it does seem like all (or almost all) racists are Republicans.
