No as a Texan he’s wrong. And I bet he wouldn’t have a problem with a white guy doing doing slab or screw.

In Texas all types of people are into Tejano and Conjunto music, Country, Rap, etc. Sure some cultures are more present in one genre but there’s a lot of cross over collaboration and the cowboy persona is resonant to lots of Texans. There is a broader culture that includes all of this.

White people don’t own country or cowboy iconography. I mean that would be rich considering vaqueros and the blues.

In Texas it’s normal for community gatherings to include all that music and you know songs from all those genres. Texas country/ two step etc is a product of that melting pot.

He’s not from texas and is stupid so I guess he doesn’t get it, but even if you’re not it’s still wild to police and shut out a black woman when black culture informed and informs so much of American music.

And Black Texans have an influential history in country music. There were black cowboys and cowhands. The Houston Rodeos are a big deal too.

He should at least do his homework and know he’s from a different section of Country and respect that she is coming from an equal (or in my biased opinion greater) Country music culture

Editing to add that on the coast we also had Vietnamese influence. Another culture to add to the pot.
