University of Wyoming's 'cowboy' slogan rustles up some controversy

"The world needs more cowboys," the University of Wyoming says in a new marketing slogan.

But apparently not everyone agrees.

The slogan has drawn backlash from critics, including faculty members and Native American groups, who call the catchphrase sexist, racist and counterproductive to university recruitment -- because it excludes women and people of color, Reuters reported.

Darrell Hutchinson, a cultural specialist, told Reuters that people who do not fit the stereotypical image of a cowboy – “a white man with a wide-brimmed hat riding the range on horseback” – are not made to feel welcome.

“In a vacuum, the term ‘cowboy’ appears gender- and perhaps race-specific, but in the context of the branding campaign it is connected to images and words that show our cowboys are diverse, of every sex and background,” university spokesman Chad Baldwin said, according to Reuters.

“A cowboy is not what you are, but who you are,” Baldwin said.

A more politically correct slogan would be "the world needs more multi-colored cow people" or just Bovineicans.

Wyoming and most of the west is the birthplace of cowboys.
Now days there are people who find almost everything and everyone offensive or racist in some way.
They are "the enemies" to our culture and way of life and the way of our founding fathers.

The global shift to the right has forced this and the liberal forced that shift by giving freedoms to all and any.
It's typical of the left minded to misunderstand the repercussions of too much too soon.

I can see the good in aiding those in peril but to ignore human nature playing it's role when freebies are up for grabs was pure folly. I deal with foreigners on a daily basis and do treat the individual with respect but as a collective I see them as a problem. Trump is the only man in modern times to cross that bridge and the left made it happen. Not looking far enough forward or behind in time is what the liberal lack.

The bruhaha indicates that University of Wyoming slogan should be changed - just not the way the critics suggest.

The slogan should be:


"The world needs more cowboys, and fewer *ssholes."

What does a cowboy do?

The cows here go around the town by themselves and come home by themselves also.

The cows would select a leader and form a group on their own, the leaders would usually be a older cow, i've never seen a bull being a leader before, she would tell them when to avoid/give way to the cars, how to walk on the road, when/where to rest, go, eat or do.

Their language is something like mooo, mo, mooooooo and etc. Lol
