There is some southernness to the white population of Dallas for sure. Miami is only about 14% non hispanic white anyway, so not much to start with.

you can make a direct comparison between anything. To say Texas has no southern culture is ignorant.

East Texas resembles parts of those states. I mean the state's largest city, Houston, is a Gulf Coast city.

Be careful. Houston is not East Texas the way you used it. When you ask a Texan what is East Texas, they will tell you Tyler, Longview, Marshall, Lufkin, Nacogdoches areas. Houston and even Beaumont is different in a ways from those cities. It's just like the Northern Louisiana-Southern Louisiana dynamic.

I gotcha. But the overall point remains in terms of the Southerness of the area compared to that of Southeastern states.

This doesn't make any sense since the vast majority of white non hispanics in Miami are mostly from the north. The most 'southerness" you will find in Miami will be amongst the black American population.
