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
Original cowboys… maybe. But you didn’t go back far enough. The Spanish taught the Mexicans how to heard cattle. Cows came to the Americas in the 1400s, brought by Europeans.
Vaquero is a Spanish word for mounted ranch hands, created in Spain and brought to America. You should probably step back and take long look in the mirror bud.
the foundation of what is known as “cowboy culture” in the United States primarily comes from Mexican “vaqueros,” who were skilled horsemen and cattle herders with traditions that were adopted and developed by settlers in the American West, particularly in Texas; essentially, the Mexican vaqueros are considered the originators of the modern cowboy figure.
You are trying to deny your Spanish heritage because you’re embarrassed of your entire identity being an assimilation of Spanish culture. You’re the one that’s triggered, not me. I’m happy with what I am.
