I remember hearing anecdotes about that very thing back in high school (20 years ago), I was living out of state at the time and the instructor was actually expressing a dislike for Texans because they placed themselves above Americans.
Later in life when I spent time overseas I would make a point of saying Texas whenever I was asked. My comrades from other states (with the exception of a New Yorker) typically replied that they were from the States.
Why, I answer Texas, of course.
ReplyDeleteYep. Always have said Texas. They know where it is, too!
