Can we push pause? Hollywood casting white people in westerns, completely erased black cowboys and Mexican vaqueros from their rightful place in the legacy of the west. Think not?

Last year, Brianna Noble rode her horse in a BLM protest and white people were like, huh? when did black people start riding horses?

Please note: every vaquero I've ever known, or ridden with, calls themselves Mexican. And yes, vaqueros are still working ranchers.
