Did anyone ever watch that show "without prejudice"? Whenever someone from Texas was on, everyone voted them off almost right away because the panel thought they were ignorant rednecks. I was disgusted by how people did that and then looked all self righteous afterwards.

I think Mississippi and Alabama get it at least as bad as us.

The difference is, they deserve it!!

I think the worst stereotype would have to be that most people have a Hollyweird view of us. For example, Were all oil rich millionaires that are as ruthless and arrogant as JR Ewing, have glamourous alcoholic wives like Sue Ellen, we all drive Mercedes Benz or Pick Up trucks with gun racks in the rear window, wear 10 Gallon hats & cowboy boots, live on sprawling ranches like Southfork, think Willie Nelson is GOD, and think that anyone or anything outside of our borders simply dont matter.

We all know there is some element of truth to the above but only a small fraction.
What do you think is the absolute WORST stereotype that us TEXANS have to overcome and live down???

I think that's just because you live here and hang out a lot on the forum. I think places like WV, AL, MS, LA and even some of the "sophisticated" Yankee states get razzed even more. Of course, so does CA.

I hate it when a tumbleweed gets stuck on the underside of my car and drags itself to destruction.
