Vennyman, that's like saying that all Minnesotans, of which I am one, are all smart alacks because Minnesota has a high education standard. Just stay away from the stereo types. She knows from experience, and really, that is very rude. That isn't at all what I think of when I think of a Texan anyway. Save the argument and describe it more. You've typed out enough of it as it is. I know a few Minnesotans which would nearly fit your description, so it's not a Texan thing.
We have no probable with you having the biggest jerk in the world as your character, but just don't call him a Texan. Texans are only grouped together based off of geographical location, nothing more, nothing less. That's it. Period.
I'm sorry if I've been offensive but still.

You said ALL PEOPLE. That makes it a stereotype. There's a lot of people on the street. Not all of them are hobos. You are a hypocrite.
I wasn't going to call him a Texan. He's an intergalactic robot. It's a stereotype. A bias. It's supposed to be a shitty recreation of what people actually are because the media is a douche and often sticks to these stereotypes. A cliche, even. Did I ever say that all of them are? Nope.

Focus on fixing your own mistakes and not criticizing others. Its just a lot easier to simply describe this guy in detail then type out all we have for an argument, yes? She is at fault there too, but I'm not going to complain at you over what she did. I'm going to complain at you for what you did. Please refrain from stereo types. Every one. It saves time, posts, and annoyance.
Also.. Intergalactic robot to me means that he travels all over galaxies or is built to, and is a robot. Not sure what you mean by a stereo type of that....

I honestly wouldn't be fighting if you didn't keep putting words in my mouth.
Look back at my posts. I said I would make my robot have the attitude of the stereotypical Texan. A stereotype is a popular belief about specific types of individuals that, on occasion, is pretty biased. I never acted upon this in a negative fashion, conforming all people from Texas into this one stereotype. Never once did I say that I actually thought that all Texans were like this. Not a single time. We are surrounded by so many stereotypes influenced via media, (ex. being Jersey Shore.) and that is why they are stereotypes in the first place.
Oh yeah, of course you're not going to point out that she, as well, stereotyped something. HOT DAMN SON.
If I did say something like "ALL CANADIANS DRINK MILK OUT OF BAGS, ONLY EAT MAPLE SYRUP SAY, EH ALL THE TIME, SPEAK FRENCH, AND HAVE FUNNY ACCENTS" and continued to fight that it was fact, then I would be an asshole. I'm not, though. If I said "Oh hey I'm going to make him Irish" and then described him as someone with a strong accent, and that he drank a lot, yeah, that is a stereotype. Of course, we probably wouldn't care then.
He was built in space. Who was programmed to act that way. So he was not actually made in Texas or anything. Clarification?

...Just as a note I have absolutely no idea what Jersey shore is...
I'm not saying she's right, I'm not saying you're right. I just telling everyone to shut up and play nice. ...Really... And if you look back at my post I specifically said:
Just don't reference stereo types and we'll all be good. That means everyone. Me included. If I do it you can go and yell at me too.
Most of the time, at least with people like me, you'll have to describe what you mean by that stereo type anyway. I am incredibly ignorant of slang and such, that included. So... Yeah...
