That is maybe the dumbest fucking thing I ever did hear. As much as your shit kicker ass would like to believe Texas, or any other shitkicking hillbilly state you live in or love, is representative of the United states maybe remember where the country started. Massachusetts, connecticut, new York (which ironically is where your ancestors came in the country regardless of just about any ethnicity you might be) is where it began. All the inbreds that wandered down south and out west because they couldn't find success with intelligent people in the northeast simply flew the Confederate flag of ignorance and lost a war clinging to the lucious idea of slavery.
New York is just about as American as it gets- diversity of both ethnic and religious varieties, capitalism at it's finest, home to the financial commerce centers around which the entire planet basis their own currency value- need I go on? Maybe you are more comfortable with less "colored" people wearing cowboy boots- fine by me. Just don't call it american- more like a fucking budweiser commercial geared to pushing beer to truck drivers who like Bruce springsteen.
