of course, i understand what you meant madcapper. it’s just funny because i also meant giant belt-buckle wearing, bull-riding, gun wielding, handle-bar mustache sporting, God-loving Texans. Yeah, some caucasian ones!_
Funny thing, being mexican and caucasian aren’t in any way mutually exclusive. check the census.
another funny thing, you’d really be surprised where a lot of those trends and traditions you think of as “Texan” and “white” really came from. The original cowboys were vaqueros. A lot of “cowboy” terminology is just mangled Spanish, in fact. Like the word ‘lariat’, is from ‘la riat’ – literally ‘the rope’.
Texas history is such an interesting subject!
