The guy who wrote it, Brett Alder, has been excoriated for it online, predictably, by Texans. I read the following story on it: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9190455/Sales-exec-moved-family-California-Texas-jokes-Brett-new-Karen.html

The picture shows the dude with 7 kids so I thought he has to be LDS. A search came up with this: https://alumnius.net/brigham_young_univer-9554-16. He appears to be a BYU graduate. Just funny. I thought the op-ed was super petty. I wonder if he's a CBer?
