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.

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