My mother in law that sure hates me refused to let her children speak with Texas accent. Now my wife stands out because she don't speak Texan. I refuse to say some words properly. My mother in law corrected me early on and I just looked her in the eye and told her I was a Texan and my relatives were here before it was Texas. She said she was a Texan and I told her she sure did not sound like one. She ain't brought it up again
I think people should be proud of who they are. All people not just some.
