Even though I have only lived in Texas for 12 years, and do not consider it my 'real' home even to this point, I still find your accusations prejudiced and mostly baseless.

Fact: What's good for the Texas economy is bad for the rest of our economy. Always.

What a load. Explain to me how this works. I am guessing that you make this sort of statement based on the idea that TX is such a large energy producer.

Texas also has the most lax environmental laws in the country (lotsa pollution is OK)

It wouldn't be so bad if we weren't having to make so much of the electricity that is needed by Californians due to their 'progressive' laws.

everyone carries guns, women are mainly objects,
Biased stereotypes.

blacks and hispanics know their place
Race is an issue EVERYWHERE. But there are plenty of white Texans (like me) that do NOT think this way. And if Texas is such a bad place for Mexicans, then why do they work so hard to get here either legally or by swimming the Rio Grande?

Ironic for such an otherwise moral Christian state.
More bias.

they're ugly Americans
Aha. Now we are getting to the crux of the biscuit...

Texas is not really like my home state. The people are different. The culture is different. But if I were to hate Texans for being different than me, what would that make me?

After all, the US is a big place, and we can be grateful that it is not just one big TX, or for that matter it is also good that it isn't all a big NY City.

Your intolerance is offensive.
