Yeah at least you guys know we exist, people from SE Florida think anything north of Palm Beach is backwoods even SW FL is considered too redneck for Southeast Florida. One guy at my church in Jacksonville jokengly said that Orlando has no black people (he's white btw). He mostly encountered Hispanics and Whites while he lived down there.
Thing is... Orlando has a lot of black people, but they are all bunched up on one side of town (Parramore and Pine Hills.) And there really is absolutely no reason to go there unless you live there or are looking for a specific Caribbean store. The rest of the place is predominantly white and Hispanic (read, Puerto Rican.)

The large majority of people from SE Florida are allergic to anything they consider to be even remotely Southern. They're generally a very provincial bunch mostly from the NE, and think of everything between DC and Orlando as some grey area, no-go zone.

Black Miamians do embrace southern culture more than the transplants, the Hispanics in South Florida don't really identify with the South similar to Orlando but cubans (the older ones) tend to appreciate Southern culture more. Pitbull even had a Southern accent at one point. Traveling Robert who's a Miami-based Cuban Youtuber said pretty nice things about Jacksonville.
Very true. It's the only boomtown in Oklahoma outside of a metro. It's booming from casino resort expansion and industrial expansion. Its population growth since 2000 is +37.8%. I don't think being somewhat close to DFW has much to do with it. Workers who both live and work in Durant is at 80.7%. Durant will probably surpass Ardmore in size if it keeps growing at the same rate.

Durant isn't just somewhat near DFW, Durant Oklahoma is part of Dallas Fort Worth CSA

Outside of city data, it’s the most favored. Atleast for white people.
^Agree with most of that list but Philly and Baltimore are definitely more hated in real life.
this^^^ ive found more people on CD who like Philly than Ive ever met irl
