Houston is not the SW at all. There are Mexicans there, yes, but that doesn't make it Southwestern

Also, I've not heard of Houston being a place for great soul food.
Heck no!!!!!!!! Where I am from we call soul food "food". Soul food restaurants are few and far between here. But also consider that the percentage of blacks is much lower than in those cities. Houston is a Mexican town and don't forget it.

[quote=Spade;22315850]Deep South is another way of saying Lower South. Lower South is different than Upland South, Western South, Mountain South, Gulf Coast South w/e. It's all Southern but there are different types of "South." I find East Texas as an extension of the Lower South or Deep South. I find Houston in culturally different than East Texas. Remember, most, if not all Texans believe Houston is not East Texas.


Yes, East Texas is "Dirty Southern". I consider the section of Pennsylvania that contains Pittsburgh to be the Midwest (hell, all of Pittsburgh's sports teams confirm this), and the panhandle of Florida (Jacksonville included I suppose?) to be apart of the Dirty South, so this makes sense.

It doesn't matter how people "Identify" themselves; Texas is a Southern State plain and simple. In fact, Not only are we a Southern State, we are the Most Southern of the states geographically speaking. We are the DEEP SOUTH.

States should not have any cultural stereotypes attached to them simply for being in the south or the north. It's silly.

...is clearly a whole statement. You knew very well what I was saying, but decided to pretend you didn't, and now you think you're going to win this with an English lesson.

How could you have possibly thought that to mean something else?
