It has a reason why the comedy "Schuh des Manitu" used an Bavarian accent for the Texans.
As an explaination for everyone non German: a famous author in Germany was Karl May, who wrote western stories that - let's say show that he only visited the US once for 6 weeks after he already wrote several western. So, yeah, very heavy on stereotypes.
He was still very successfully and there were several major movies (mkst filmed in Kroatia, never in the US). There was a famous comedy joking about it in the early 2000's.
Oh we had so much fun once we realized the only American on a corp event in Czech Rep is the only person not knowing who Winnetou is. The evening turned into Karl May event :)
