What about the Cowboys of Brokeback Mountain? They were cowboys.

[Red Badger]

Yes, many became cowboys after the Civil War.............

Hmmmmmm! It only appears to be gender specific not race. CowBOYS. Period. Not white cowboys or black cowboys or asian cowboys or mexican cowboys. Just cowboys. Now back to our fossil fuel petro heterosexual uber masculine stance.

The cow punching lifestyle portrayed by onscreen "cowboys" was actually adopted from the Mexican vaqueros.

In fact, cow-boy was considered a pejorative term, especially in the southwest, until the late 19th century.

Someone hasn't done their homework.

I remember 50 years ago on a road trip that I was making through Wyoming, out in the middle of nowhere, I decided to stop get gas, etc. As I went into a small general store I noticed a group of small Mexican looking (smelly) guys hanging around outside.
Someone told me that they were cowboys and when I asked why they were all so small, I was told that the ranchers hire the smallest because their weight is easier on the trail horses they ride that are owned by the ranchers.

My image of cowboys changed. They are small, wiry and with dark complections.

Bourdain was hanging out with a bunch of black cowboys in part of one of his last shows, the episode that covered Cajun Louisiana.

yes! here in Texas a large part of our “cowboys” are in fact black and are some of the best at what they do.

Quite true. In fact, one of our more popular gubernatorial candidates this fall is a black cowboy by the name of Taylor Haynes. He happens to be a mechanical engineer and an M.D. He’s also a very strict constitutionalist. He’s getting my vote. Laramie is such a silly progressive town because of the idiots at the university. It’s a tiny blue speck surrounded by a sea of red!

Historically, over one third of the real cowboys were black.
