Not really interested in dealing with that on a daily basis. Especially with a two year old daughter in tow now.

It's so overblown and is a virtual non-issue in the big cities. Houston has a huge Chinatown and a thriving Asian population including the 3rd largest Vietnamese population in the US. Austin is incredibly multi-cultural. DFW is in the same category as Houston.
Really small towns might be a different story, but it is like that anywhere (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Idaho, Arizona, you name it).
