The RGV was once half white and half Hispanic
not in Brownsville - which I know is not all of RGV

When we lived in Brownsville, the city was almost 98% Hispanic

Ironically I think it’s less now

Apparently Brownsville was once 2/3s white American at least. Of course the population was tiny

“The 1850 census showed a population of 519, two-thirds of whom were from the states along the Atlantic seaboard; most of the remainder were Mexican, Irish, French, English, and German.”

During the next two decades, a large influx of Whites from the North served to reshape Brownsville's ethnic structure. Before 1900 nearly half of all those born in the city were the products of interracial marriages, and both Anglo and Mexican customs were widely practiced and respected. The town's new residents, mostly Protestant and White, however, were more reluctant to assimilate, and as a result ethnic divisions began to widen.
