Cowboys came from all backgrounds. Cowboy culture is based.

[@braxeld4551]

Nah the Anglos aka US took it from the former new Spain colony. Is a Spanish/mexican way of gathering and caring for cattle. Nothing American about it, and has nothing to do with black people either. Little bit of history will help you.

@braxeld4551 nope anybody can be a cowboy and be raised that way. Nice try.

[@braxeld4551]

@@Falloutplayer99 why nice try, are you Mexican to say anything about my people’s culture because cowboy culture is part of my country’s heritage for more than 500years.

[@Falloutplayer99]

@braxeld4551 Being a cowboy isn't a race. Stop being a bigot. Anybody can be a cowboy or cowgirl if they work hard at it. Just because Mexican people started, it doesn't mean it's reserved for just them.

​@@braxeld4551Spain brought Cows and Horses to North and South America. Also Romans and the Spanish have statues that are thousands of years old demonstrating bull wrestling. All of Europe was conquered on horseback 😂👍
