I was born and raised in Southeast Oklahoma (technically born in Paris because the hospitals were shit so you have go to Texas to get good hospitals). Down there (I live in Stillwater now) they pronounced things kinda like the south and even had blue grass festivals. But when I went to the deep South everyone sounded "black" even the white folks.
Cody Wyoming felt like home because of the rodeos, but felt too western.
I just want to know if we can shitpost in MidWesturn or Dixie threads.
Oklahoma, north Texas, and northeastern New Mexico are all part of the greater Midwest, though Texas is kind of its own unitary region culturally. Oklahoma as you know does have a lot of southern influence, but its agricultural history and settlement patterns have more to do with the Great Plains, which is usually considered a Midwestern region. "Okies" were always considered to be distinct from "southerners," with Arkansas serving as a transitional area into "the south."
We have a pretty thick southern vocab. We just don't sound like the deep south. Also you live in Scandinavia, and posting pictures from some government website rather than an actual written argument. 2/10

Trick question: it doesn't matter what you are, because you don't really matter
>it's good with a foreign perspective >Half the states are an amorphous orange blob because you're too lazy to actually google and see if there's any cultural differences there
You need people to have culture, and the orange blob has like 30 million people living on it (who have only been there 5 generations). That's about as culture-less as Canada.

I just want you to know you're retarded and don't know what you're talking about
Great plains aught to be it's own "region" just so stupid fucks like you stop lumping in fucking New Mexico with the Midwest proper
Henry Mitchell
Nobody is lumping in the desert/southwestern portions of New Mexico with "the Midwest." But eastern NM is dominated by Great Plains rangeland. This is a ranch in eastern New Mexico - that looks pretty damn Midwestern to most people. Because it is.
