I have friends and family all over Dade County, Florida. ALL of them consider themselves Southerners. So unless they are told differently, they will continue calling themselves that. Now the Black American culture of South Florida is VERY much Southern and I don't care to hear anyone say that it's not. I know it is.

If its chock-full of Yankees, yes it does. Cities like Atlanta have become a Yankee oasis of sorts.

Not the Deep South. Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and even Orlando are all more Southern than Miami.
