Ass, gas, or grass. No one rides for free.

married but discreet posted:

Perhaps a stupid question, but I recently got my PhD and am moving to Austin to work as an evolutionary biologist at UTA. Is my occupation something I should better not mention to potential landlords and generic americans if asked what I do? What about outside of Austin? Will I be Hills Have Eyed there?

I spent 5 weeks in small town texas a few months ago, and I have never seen so much casual racism in my entire life, and I'm from the loving south. If you stick to Austin, you'll be fine. Outside the cities, you're on your own.
