	Obviously, you were not in Houston for long enough. Or you just didn't
pay close enough attention. In the 8 years that I lived there, I knew 4 people 
whose real first name was Tex. It is short for Texas with 2 of them. For the 
other 2, I never found out if it was there given name, or some hellish nickname 
they'd picked up.
	Also, I seem to remember a news report several years back about a
woman whose last name was Texas. She named her kids Houston and Dallas. 

BTW, one of these people was killed in a bar fight last year. Brought a
knife to a gun fight. The other guy got off on self defense. While this
was someone that I always thought needed killin', he was the first person
that I thought needed killin' that has been killed. 

Peeve: Too damned many people in Texas named Bubba.

   Check out alt.native. I believe that refutes that.

Peeve: People who don't seem to know the meaning of a simple word 
       like "native". Show me an American who isn't a native, and 
       I'll show you an immigrant. Not the American-born offspring 
       of an immigrant, but an immigrant.

Those indigenous aboriginal Americans certainly are native Americans, but
they aren't the only ones.

And, Dan, don't be so sure that all our American Indians are so backward. An
evening at the Inn of the Mountain Gods (owned by the Mescalero Apache
Tribe) might change your mind. Bring your Visa Gold, and your skis -
nearby Sierra Blanca has a very nice ski lodge (also owned by the Tribe).

Wendell Chino might well have his own communications satellite one of 
these days.

IndioPeeve: Baseball teams and others who can't have names like Indians,
            Braves, etc. in this Politically Correct World. Another crock.

RelatedPeeve: The term "People Of Color". (So, given the universal set of
              humanity less People Of Color, do we have People of
              Non-Color or what?) Brought to you by the same people who
              think American Indians are the only native Americans.

	Yes, it is truly one of the outrages our country has performed.  I,
by the way, have nothing but Norwegian and Danish blood coursing through
my fair-skinned body.  That "White Man's Burden" bullshit was just that,
and I'm glad it's mostly over.

	Thank you.  Whenever asked, I mark the "Other:" box and write in
"Agro-American."  Hell, farmers are about 2% of the population, so that
should put me squarely in minority status.  The powers that be, however,
seem to think race, language, and sex are the only things that define a
minority.  Obviously they've never seen an honest senator, which I suspect
is the smallest minority of all and possibly extinct.

	Proud?  Well, only as proud as one could be of one's ancestry and
still be a citizen of the USA.  Our forefathers were kicked out of every
decent country in the world, remember, though some left before charges were
served.  In any event, my ancestors died by the score and were not an
influence on the world after about 1066ad, and the fact that the invading
forces are often technologically superior to the occupants is hardly
something to be either proud or distasteful of.  It simply is.  That we
have never given the Indians a fair shake is not the fault of myself or
my ancestors, but a lowered Irish population may be.  Those viking
tendencies only show how the world works.  Sadly, it hasn't changed.

	No.  First, there is no such thing as an American race, with the

they are one race or not amidst the various tribes and what-not.

	Second, Peevetown is in America, and hence we don't allow those.
