But, let’s just be real here, stereotyping is kind of an area in which Dallas especially excels. Makes sense: Dallas is big enough and culturally significant enough to have had a variety of stereotypes applied to its citizens, and yet small enough for most everyone to be aware of these tropes’ existence, even if these folks don’t necessarily own up to their own alignments with them.

We’re not just talking here about the boxes outsiders put us Dallasites into, either. While we locals might scoff at the notion that Dallas’ cozy location in the south makes all of us residents a bunch of horse-riding hicks, we also know that we have our own perceptions ayou.
