Truth. My ex worked with a guy who was from Bavaria, which was in no doubt, as the guy was very insistent that he was Bavarian, not German.

For the record, Bavarians call no-Bavarians "Preissen". This has historical reasons too, Prussia gained to unify most northern german states step by step before 1870. Bavaria and, i think, Baden (i should check this) were the last states and it needed a blackmail, war with France and a very sus death of the last king of Bavaria to incorporate this area
