Yes, and it's only made worse when people who have no clue about the roots of language and the etymology of words start making assertions that are incorrect.

In the absence of a linguist, I would still hope that common sense would scream out, "There weren't any Muslims IN Mexico when Matamoros was named!"

It's bad enough that fellow human beings are being killed. I don't need to have them broken down into groups by people who think that "some pigs are more equal than others." (From Animal Farm by George Orwell)

And to all of you non-Texans?? Lay off the Hispanic racial crap! Texas used to be part of Mexico and our culture and very identity as a state is largely influenced by our Mexican heritage.

The name Texas derives from táysha'; a word in the Caddoan language of the Hasinai, which means "friends" or "allies." The Hasinai are just one of many, many other peoples who lived here long before America existed. They were here before the French and Spanish colonization of Central America, and long before there was ever a Mexico. I could write you a book on this beautiful country, but suffice to say that many cultures have called Texas home and it was the descendants of those many peoples who fought and died to save Texas from the tyranny of Antonio López de Santa Anna. Even the Spanish that is spoken in Texas is mixed with the languages of all of the people's who came before us.
