The narrative is Southerners are all mouth breathin’ ‘bacca chewin’, one toothed, cousin marryin’, Bible thumpin’ gun totin’, noose tyin’ cross burnin’, meth smokin’ troglodytes.

I am 75 and i was born and raised in Houston Texas. Except for living a couple of years on the east coast I have been here. I can't tell you how many people who have told me the same story. “ when I was transferred to Texas, I thought my life was over and after a short while the thought of leaving was out of the question”

I know people who have quit their company when they tried to transfer them to some place else.

Hence the saying was born “ I wasn't born in Texas but I got here as fast as I could”.
