…tejanos around here can be of any ethnicity: it’s considered a cultural identity (not unlike hispanic or latino) for folks with deep roots in the original regional melting-pot but it’s not synonymous with the texian or broader post-revolutionary texan population…
This is wrong… People from Texas are Texicans.
I wanna kick Ted Cruz in the Texicals.
Had a convo about this with a pair of (very white) people from Texas. They unironically called themselves Tejanos.
Not sure how widespread that preference is among Texas people.
