Pretentious comment is going to get that sort of response regardless of where it is made or to whom.

Let's remember that Dodge City is in Kansas and that was once called the "West" too. You know Wyatt Earp, the Clantons, and the OK Corral. Heck, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee used to be considered the "West". As the US expanded west (Manifest destiny), the definition of "west" changed. Texas and Oklahoma used to be the "West" too. But that changed as well. Texas is culturally and geographically part of the South. Texas was part of the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Saying that Texas is in the South and not the West is a pretentious comment? How? The subject is certainly open to debate but I can't see how it is pretentious.
