A Mexican cowboy is called vaquero or charro and they are the original cowboys. The American settlers learned how to herd cattle from Mexican immigrants

Wut? Vaqueros are well known and taught about in Texas history. Hell, most of the top bull riders are from South America.

Some of you really know nothing about the world outside of the internet.
