Australian here - where is all this anger coming from? I went to college in America (late 80s) U. Illinois but had a couple of road trips to Texas and ALWAYS had a great time. I have been back to the states a couple of times since and usually gone through Dallas because its an airline hub and AGAIN always had a great time. I found Texas people to be generally polite and friendly. That whole "Sothern Hospitality" thing is something I have experienced. So this level of aggression seems out of place. One of the things I learnt form going to college overseas was that in almost any cultural group there are those few who try to be the perfect version of that group. They tend to have a fantasy/idealised version of their identity and aggressively defend it. Worse than the aggression to outsiders they are often ruthless to anyone of their group who doesn't comply usually labelling them as traitors. AND YES we have such people here in Australia. thankfully not many but they have these fantasy notions of what they think being Australian means and they have a very narrow limited version of our history. Is that what we are seeing? A fraction of Texan society who are trying to be more Texan than Texas and trying to hold onto some version of Texas that never really existed.
