Put politely, San Antonio residents hold a diversity of opinions.

We’ll argue over who has the best breakfast tacos, which bartender whips up the meanest michelada and which TV meteorologist gets the weather right most often. We even have frequent disagreements about which side of town best embodies the Alamo City’s heart and soul.

That said, there are certain opinions that we share: that Tex-Mex is a wonderful thing, for example, and that we’re damn glad we don’t live in Dallas.

And then there are the opinions that can get you flat-out canceled if you dare utter them aloud. If you don’t care much for the Spurs or don’t like participating in a citywide party each spring, well, you have probably learned to keep those sentiments to yourself.

Here are some other unpopular opinions that will get your ass canceled in the Alamo City. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
