Interesting take.

I imagine the REAL native Texans (if you want to call them that), probably thought the same when your ancestors arrived.

LOL!! No telling........as far as REAL native Texans go, they came from somewhere else, and gained their territory by having driven others off, which went on for centuries.

Now, back on topic.....

Having said that, if I happen to be wearing a hat or cap, it comes off indoors in most places.

There is plenty gross with the way most people in the world eat.

I am afraid to falafel after reading your second paragraph. At some point, that left hand is going to touch the food they are cooking. That's not dirt in their fingernails.

To an Arab, the fact that your left hand is even visible to him while you are eating is gross, and watching you eat might cause a traditional Arab to get up and leave the room in disgust.

Amazing how a simple question lead to all that other garbage!
Yes, and the photo of the bombshell ought to be removed as well. People are so ridiculous.

I was born and raised in San Antonio and we never wear hats inside. Especially at the dinner table. If we did, or forgot to remove it, I don't have to tell you what happened. To me it is all these transplants bringing their baggy pant, hat backwards, no mannered selves into the state. You can spot a true native simply by their actions. Removal of the hat, opening a door for a woman and letting her go first, and responding with a yes maam or a yes sir. Also, the raising of 2 fingers off the steering wheel when you pass someone you know is also a TX thing. Get with it transplants!
