The funny thing that bothers me about that is New Orleans thinks it's more Southern based on mixed color prevailing like no tomorrow. No offense.. The reality is it was colonized by people in the Northeast, not just that, New Englanders.
It is true if you are born in the South, you practice enough Southern culture to know what you want, but your parents are a different brought up heritage. You don't go into the world prepared, so you kinda have to really just break the ice.. Your history will still say brought up by northerner parents.
I agree you go by geography because rich people visited and passed through here, Florida, a long long time ago.. They have the real keys. It's like thinking of something as morbid as gassing "the original" like "ab-original" people as though that's "what" it is and can't be something new for you, can't. You might be able to say you were avid onto the meaning of Florida and lived here longer than older people..
New Orleanians want to believe in the tossup there will be a real best Southerner. What states would that be, being given Florida is only 1 of a quantity, there are other prized areas similar to Florida with people there longer? I saw pictures of people in Georgia, and they seem more like it but I saw a bunch of overweight girls. Alabama, I think so, too. Mississippi is also quite a magic land..
I like the person who's lived in different place sin Florida. I know in the early 90s that Floridians were "no Yankees," not at all as good as a Northerner, and not an ancient beach hog. Yes, you can't be a true U.S. southerner. My parents took me to enjoy the beach about twice a month. I wasn't into sin. I would prefer an offspring of an ancient Floridian with money, only rich people in the South. I do like to have fun, though..
I agree with the poster saying Miami doesn't have Southern Culture without its sorta poster image or whatever they just said, someone who's been to Tampa a lot.
