I can understand such sentiments about Texas as a whole but Austin is very different from the rest of the state.
Austin might not be the best city for some minority groups, but I see very little bigotry among the general attitudes of the people. I have a feeling that the Uber riding guy and most of the others you mention had decided that they weren't going to like Austin before they even got here. Some peeps be like that.
