I get the point of the article, and when I was younger I was a little sensitive about my Texas accent. Over the years I came not to be so concerned about it, because I realized there are so many accomplished Texas anybody who thinks we are slow gives me an advantage.

I work for a group of Eastern Harvard business school grads, and I guarantee those boys don’t think there is anything slow about me, because of my colorful phrases, and my Texas accent.

I agree. My husband found my Texas accent quite charming! ;o) (He's a sucker for a southern drawl)
