I grew up on the cusp of south and Caribbean, and I can’t honestly claim the rest of the south or the rest of the Caribbean. I always say I’m a Southerner, but a lot of what makes that culture isn’t something I have experienced. Florida is weird because it’s so full of people that have only lived there for a generation or less, alongside people who have lived there for over a century.
Most of the other places I’ve lived are melting pots, but I can still see the over arching cultures there that are labeled in this map.
