bullshite. Houston, Beaumont, and Dallas are Southern cities through and through.
Dallas is not Southern through and through. It may as well be part of the Midwest from all the transplanted Yankees.

I would not consider Dallas a through and through southern city.

No, I do not consider Texas to be a Southern state. Nor do I consider Florida to be a Southern state.

It's 2015, more and more Northerners are moving to the South each and every day.
It's not like the metro area has completely lost its Southern identity. It's still a football town with great barbecue (two major determining factors when it comes to identify a Southern city).

West of Houston and Tyler, no. Anything west of Austin is the gateway to the Southwest. And Austin is getting invaded with Californians every day.

But that's the thing. Southern culture is not as monolithic as many think. There are cultural differences from one region to another. The culture of Louisiana is far different than in places like Tennessee or South Carolina. People in Georgia have a different culture than people in Arkansas or Mississippi. And these are just a couple of examples. Yes there are similarities, but also key differences in culture from one part of the South to the other. And Texas, is part of the overall patchwork of different but similar cultures that make up the South.

East Texas is the most "southern" part of the state. The Panhandle is more Midwestern than anything else. And South Texas is essentially Mexico Norte.
from Houston and this true
The south ends just east of Baytown. The golden triangle area is very much southern

Texas is a massive state. It's impossible for an area that large to remain culturally homogeneous.
Take a look at how much Southern California differs from Northern California. Better yet, take a look at Lafayette compared to Shreveport and Ruston.
Texas was part of the Confederacy. That single characteristic should be enough in determining "Southern" status.

Not really. I don't consider South Lousiana to be all that "southern" though (I feel Cajun isn't the same as redneck southern).
I mean it's more southern than Connecticut, but it's not that antebellum, southern charm kind of feel.

shite, Florida is the least southern out of all of them, "California of the east coast."

No. Louisiana and Texas are not southern states. Both pale in comparison to the genteel south of Georgia and North/South Carolina

Yes, yes it is. Sure, it has different cultural attributes that other place in the traditional South, but then so does Louisiana.
Posted on 4/10/15 at 1:47 pm to Tunasntigers92
I consider Texas a Mexican state. Same with Arizona and New Mexico

No
Posted on 4/10/15 at 1:49 pm to Tunasntigers92
No, I consider Texas to be sort of its own entity. Not part of the south.

Southern Louisiana culture is about as Southern as you can get. It's quintessential Southern in fact. Yes, it's different than say the culture of other Southern states. But like I said, Southern culture is not monolithic. Cultures vary from region to region in the South, but they all make up parts of the overall Southern culture.

If you're definition of Southern culture is made up of requiring someone to be "redneck", then you need to go to places like rural Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois and inform the people there they're now Southern. Redneck is just that, "redneck" and has nothing to do with being Southern. There's as many rednecks living in states outside the South as there are living in the South.
