Good. They all contribute immensely to New York. Especially Beyonce and her staggering wealth. They are New Yorkers.
Nope. They are Texans living in New York.

Just like you. You are a transplant living in New York.

Exactly KONY this is what gets under my skin. If I went to texas and 6 months later I started telling the texans I am a "texan". They and all the other people in this country would laugh at me for saying it. But when some midwestern douchbag comes here and smirks saying he is a new yorker now cause he lived here 6 months. I am supposed to throw him a parade? And I am supposed to adhere to this bs fantasy he lives in?

Its the double standard that bothers me the most.

Would you like for me to PM you some links to news/blog reports of incidents in the DC area that have taken place between transplants and natives?

DC dont mess around.

We have middle school and high school kids down here who turn DC subway stations into their own personal UFC octagons.
