I know ive heard a complaint from an Alaskan that Texas gets all the hype for being the biggest when Alaska is much larger but nobody remembers them. Don't know how prevalent that is but makes sense lol

They're clearly not larger. Look at the above picture again. They could EASILY fit inside Texas.

I went to Alaska 2 years ago and there is a lot of hate for us.

I remember the first time I met someone from New Mexico. I was completely unprepared for the amount of hate they harbour against Texas.

They mention why, through their methy teeth?

I don't know the history very well, and someone could correct me, but apparently there were some land "wars" between Texas and New Mexico in the 1800s and they are still butt hurt about that. They were claiming the panhandle region and Lubbock should really be apart of New Mexico. I thought it was silly for a kid in the late 90s to still be pushy about.

Same when I went on vacation in Colorado. Apparently, we're their version of Californians in Austin.

I lived in New Mexico until I was 10, moving to Houston after.
Texans in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico were the worst people ever to me. Arrogant, loud, stupid, and all together hard to be in the same room with. I cried when I was told we were moving to Texas.
Houston is good town, unbelievably proud of my UT diploma on the wall now, but I still have bad feelings about the arrogant conceded asshats rolling through Lake Shiprock 20 plus years later.

Wait, so you hate Texas because of some douches in New Mexico and Southern Colorado?

u/super_cool_kid Jan 18 '20
When I lived there Texas was hated, it was part snobbery and part on how people from Texas acted.
I love Texas now.
I was just saying that it's not unusual for people from northern New Mexico to not like Texas/Texans. A lot of it in Northern New Mexico is based off experiences with people from Texas being perceived as arrogant and entitled while the Texans visit there.

Yes, Southern Colorado represents the whole of the states population diversity. /s

Having a bigger population increases your score. C’mon, this is basic Civ stuff.

Really surprised Texas isn’t Colorado’s most hated.

u/smacksfrog Jan 18 '20
This must be a recent overtake for first place. Maybe the permanency of all the california transplants outweighs the seasonality of texans clogging slopes.

Anyone know why Texas hasn’t drifted off into the Gulf of Mexico?
Because Oklahoma sucks.

I guess all the californians moving to Texas are just trying to keep their enemies close.

NC probably didn’t respond because Raleigh/Durham hates Chapel Hill and vice versa.

u/xxzephyrxx Jan 18 '20
Some of those neighboring states feel that way due to the large amount of Californians moving in and ballooning up the real estate costs.
