Thats funny, they say the same thing about Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston,
San Antonio, etc: i.e. big cities aren't 'real texas'. This is the same
everywhere. Most educated city people, especially those in the upper
classes, generally don't reflect the culture of the region that city is
located in and are more likely to buy into 'citizen of the world' garbage.
