Why the stereotypes ?

Was watching a film last night and it brought out a view of texans where they were insulted by a leading member of the government and it made me think, Why are texans a laughing stock to many, is it due to the mexicans (re- baseketball - [texan team chant] - fuck the mexicans... ewurgh) or the huge gallon hats & southern accents.

So I ask you

Are texans mainly


a) mexicans



b) guys in big hats



c) cletus




or a little from column a, b and c

and why are there so many pricks in texas (I mean cacti obviously )

CLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this song about


When I was young I used to wait
On master and hand him his plate
Pass him the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue-tail fly

Chorus
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
My master's gone away
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

When he would ride in the afternoon
I'd follow him with my hickory broom
The pony being rather shy
When bitten by the blue-tail fly

Chorus

One day he rode around the farm
Flies so numerous that they did swarm
One chanced to bite him on the thigh
The devil take the blue-tail fly

Chorus

Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue-tail fly

Chorus

Now he lies beneath the 'simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
The victim of the blue-tail fly"


please

I am the holder of the 3 pack Bonanza
If you open the book then you shall get your answer
I am the keeper of the 3 pack Bonanza
If you ask the question then you shall get your answer

Man, I really don't want to touch this one with a 10-foot pole, but here goes...

I've been living in Texas for almost a year. Before that, I lived in Washington DC, Los Angeles, Oakland, & San Francisco.

I've travelled to Germany, Czech, Denmark, Britain, France, Belgium, Guatemala, & Mexico.

what can I say about Texans? They are as nice, friendly, normal, & welcoming, IF NOT MORE SO than any other place I've lived.

From column a--Mexicans are nice people.

from column b--at least they don't have pasty white legs in shorts like the British.

and for Column c--the hicks--if you want to see hicks, go 2 hours outside of LA to San Bernadino County, California, home of trailer park meth labs. Where I was warned to carry a gun if I wanted to go hiking.

Honestly, Texas is a beautiful place with cool, laidback people.

To be fair, that's only cos you associate rather unpleasant things with that accent.

okay i lived in texas for 5 yrs. (5 yrs old till 10 yrs. old) i thought it was and still to this day think it's the most horrible place in the world. the weather sucks, the allergies there are horrible and the school systems suck. now i have met some cool people from texas but it's someplace that isn't really on my place to visit possibly.

There's stereotypes to almost any state though. I think the main thing about Texas is that the media you're exposed to mostly stems from old "Dallas" reruns and "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure". Instead of actually coming here and chilling with us, they just formulate opinions based on what others have experienced.

I'm not going to lie though. Texas is full of rich, closed-mined, anal-retentive jackasses...but as in any state there a lot of good people that would stop and help you fix a flat tire if you needed it.

When you say "Mexicans", do you mean immigrant workers which came to this country to work for a better life, which some are from other Latin American countries...Americans of Mexican descent (such as myself, but you can call me Chicano or just Dave)...or Latinos which include Panamanians, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Colombians, and other Non-Mexican citizens. I think most people see brown skin and just assume they are Mexican because they're lazy and don't know any better.

There is such a thing as South America and last time I checked...Mexico was in North America.

I blame pop culture for stereotypes. The same culture that taught us to call Packer "Roo-boy" when we met him, or made us look at Ferry Corsten's feet to see if his shoes were wooden is the same that makes you think we all ride horses and have large boots and hats. It makes you think I speak Spanish (I don't) and probably swam the Rio Grande to get here.

Its a culture of ignorance and resistance to knowledge.

You ever wanna see it for yourself and bust those myths about us, come on down and we'll show you a good time. Those stereotypes only represent the dregs of society here.

No, I don't mean it in a deogatory way, as here in the UK we have many Indians/pakistanis/people from poorer asian countries plus eastern europe who make the very same journey. However I heard there is a lot of lets say 'hispanic' crime, take for example 'cops' where if they mean to or not, it comes across as 90% hispanic crime, leading me to wonder if the media do perceieve everything badly there, and also the fact that we're led to believe the border controls aren't good (over here we're given that impression at least)

As with any areas however there will be people who you don't like, we cant escape them anywhere sadly.
