13) Lingering racism. Lubbock is sort of mentally-retarded when it comes to progressing beyond race issues. It’s moved forward a pinch, but the town is still deeply segregated: Black on the east side, Hispanic on the north side, white on the southwest side, complete with a sticky sweet college-student center. Up until the ‘70s, Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. was named Quirt Road. A quirt was a whip used to torture slaves. Read this award-winning journalist’s article on racism in Lubbock. When Obama was elected, Tech’s Facebook lit up with a flurry of angry white status updates like “CHANGE = Come Help A ****** Get Elected.” Racism is alive here, and it’s not just old people, it’s college students, mostly the ones from surrounding cowfart towns and wealthy suburbs of Dallas and Houston… which means most of the student population (Tack that onto #3). Lubbock also has an active National Socialist Movement group.

19) Lubbock drivers. Everybody says their city has the worst drivers, but Lubbock roads have a near perfect ratio of people over 70, drunk college students, rich trophy wives in SUVs, and illegal immigrants. Half drive too slow, fail to yield, signal, merge, fail to understand the basic concepts of fast lane/slow lane, left-yield turns, and double-turn lanes. The other half kill people for fun.
