Meh, the whole "blueberry in the tomato soup" mentality. Plus transplants from other parts of the county that say, "Austin isn't really Texas because, you know, Texas can't really be nice."
Or that it has a "liberal" vibe, while the rest of the state is viewed as being conservative.

So if you asked those transplants if Austin is in the South, what do you think they'd likely say?
No. In my opinion they have their own pride...they are still very angry as well...they feel like the white man is trying to keep them down...at least here in NC/SC/GA. The whites and blacks also have their own neighborhoods and churches...also, once a neighborhood gets cheaper the blacks start to move in and the whites move out...someone did a similar heat map in St. Louis where from the 50's to today you could watch the white people move away from the inner city into the suburbs...as the blacks followed when things got cheaper, etc. the whites moved in the other direction further away...in charlotte they still bus blacks to other schools to keep the system diverse...so white parents send their kids to private schools...most of the poor in charlotte are black...and most of the crime is from the blacks...i had a lot of black friends from up north...they are a different people here...blacks and whites dont talk much here...the blacks are usually poor...you can tell a black from a white by the car they drive and the house they live...i watched all houses on my street sell this spring....the two houses owned by blacks are still on the market...not sure if they destoryed the house or people wont buy from them...eitherway the south is still way behind.
I lost count of the number of dumb stereotypes and generalities in this post ...

How can the capital city of Texas, and the home of the University of Texas, not be TEXAN?!
He's a complete idiot, all he does is whine and complain in the Charlotte board. But as a Southern black we do have a sense of pride, no confederate flag type stuff though.

Stereotypically Texan.
i.e., Ultra-conservative, Republican, gun packing, anti-anything progressive, Reagan worshiping, big oil, big hair, Confederate flag waving, Obama haters who hate the idea of interracial intermingling and any kind of food considered to be "healthy".
You know, "Texan".
