Are we going a bit overboard here ? I think you would have to dig pretty deeply to brand Mrs. Bush as racist (or even elitist) based on that article. I think it would be fair to say that her comments were based on what she said seconds earlier -- that a lot of the people she spoke with were planning to move to Houston permanently :

"Then she added: "What I’m hearing which is sort of
scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is
so overwhelmed by the hospitality."

If people are telling her this (ie they might have a ticket out of a chronically poor area to one with perhaps more opportunity for them) then I don't think it would be wrong (other than maybe a bit of over-generalization) to say that "things were working out well for them".

Flame away, I'm logging off now
