Anyone who lives in Texas and gets upset about that is incredibly ignorant, considering Texas belonged to Mexico up until about ~188 years ago.

But see I haven’t seen anyone from Texas complaining here. I have, however, seen non Texas folks projecting and fantasizing that Texas people are somehow mad about this lone Redditor’s comment.

BTW, I’m not from Texas and I have never lived in Texas

I lived in TX for about half of my life, even as recently as 4 years ago. But I personally never saw anyone "upset" at the thought of Mexicans being the original cowboys.

Yup. Native Texan born and bred. We've always known about the vaqueros and being part of Mexico. I'm pretty sure it was taught in our mandatory Texas History class. Of course I'm from Houston, where we have our share of assholes, but Mexican and Tejano culture is generally celebrated. I know that there are some other parts of the state that are an embarrassment, and don't even get me started on our politicians.

Because the average Texan doesn't give a shit who the first cowboy was. Or about cowboys in general. Reddit is filled with idiots.

Same, maybe it's just because I'm from San Antone though, redneck rural parts might be slightly more upset?

I don't think the average Texan gives a shit. BUT Texas has a large number of whatever the state version of "nationalists" are. I have relatives in Tyler and and some other Dallas suburb and they don't shut up about how Texas is basically just gods gift to the world.
