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

This wouldnt upset Texans at all. Those of us who grew up here know that Texas’ roots are Mexican. Its usually the people from other states who have this fantasy idea of Texas and are surprised when they get here and see the diversity lol
