Corpus is heavily Hispanic, but the Caucasian population there is pretty southern.
White people are 30% of Corpus so it's odd to define the city's culture by them.
But, in any case, white people I've met from Corpus seem extremely similar to white people I've met from San Antonio. (In fact, they are all die hard spurs fans and I know of at least two people who ended up settling in San Antonio). And I would say people in those cities are also pretty similar to the people I know from Fort Worth.
However they are nothing like white people I know from Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama... Corpus has much more of a shared Texas culture than a shared gulf of Mexico culture. That's probably true in Houston as well but it's not even close in Corpus. Now Beaumont would be another story.

Care to explain?
I am from San Antonio and not sure what is so different about me compared to my friends from the “real south” as you define it. I don’t think they see it either.
What is it about black people in Miami that makes them different or southern compared to black people from say, Chicago or Detroit?
They speak more southern and they actually identify as Southern. People over exaggerate the "southern-ness" of black people outside the south. There's a noticeable difference. Black people aren't all the same.

Different accents, different cuisines, bigger middle class, different religious makeup. I mean we're all the USA so it's not *that* different. Ultimately the urban / rural divide is bigger.
The main difference is that a place that is 70% Hispanic feels a lot different than a place that is 5% Hispanic...

Lots of commonality in food and culture. Even the Hispanics in Texas can be pretty southern. Also, a Texas accent isn't too far from a southern one.
