How accurate is this as a cultural division of the United States? Why is it “Midwest” and not “central”...

trvth nvke

I know, we talked about that plenty in school here. But culturally it doesn't feel very southern

'Tis what the Missouri Compromise decided.

Delaware, Maryland, DC and the DC area are technically the South, but not really as concerned to the white people who reside there in current year. Parts of Missouri are definitely more Southern, the same as parts of Indiana, Illinois and what have you. There are places in those states where they sound Southern as fuck but refuse to say "y'all." Texas and Oklahoma become a matter of when does Southern end and Western begin. West Coast is not Western in the same sense. Much of Colorado doesn't fit into "West" in that sense either. Race and demographic change affects the culture. A lot of these states also have one city or metro area that throws off elections and doesn't always fit into the rest of the state or region. A lot of cities should really just be their own city-states, but they would never allow that to happen because of they'd be impoverishing themselves giving up all the resources and taxes they draw from the rest of the state.

As a Marylander, it's always weird to see us put in the South

Are you white, and if so, how deep are your roots in Maryland? When did your family immigrate, and where did they come from? Were they part of the founding stock, and did they own slaves? Maryland was placed under martial law during the Civil War and not allowed to secede from the Union. Only 10% of its troops were brave enough to risk being charged with treason to go South to fight for the Confederacy. The rest had to fight for the Union, like it or not.

Ulsterman actually. The so called Scots-Irish/Northern Irish Protestants. Scots from Scotland proper are like Braveheart or the Scotsman from Samuari Jack or Groundskeeper Willie.

descendants of Scottish culture

Appalachia is not the entire South.

Virginia and Texas should be split too, maybe also Ohio/Indian/Illinois but that would be a small change

the real truthnuke

Appalachia is its own thing it stretches from New England to Georgia and is a unique culture between 4 other cultures (Midwestern Rustbelt, New England, Southern, Mid-Atlantic). Appalachian’s never owned slaves or grew cotton etc.

It absolutely isn't you retarded subhuman Russian faggot

Why's Maryland and Delaware in the South? Many people consider those Northeast.

You aren’t northeastern, Jamal.

This is more accurate.

Uhhh no?

Why is it “Midwest” and not “central”?

Because for a century it was "the West". Sometimes Illinois/Michigan/Minnesota/Wisconsin is called "the Old Northwest" (e.g. Northwestern University in Chicago).

Once there was stuff even further west, it became the Midwest (like the Mideast).

Is Texas closer to Virginia than Arizona or even California in culture?

In general, yes. Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso are more Southwestern, but the eastern 2/3 of the state are the South. The panhandle and northern bits are fairly Midwestern.

Are the Dakotas closer to California than Iowa in culture?

No, and that's why they're part of the Midwest.

Most of these maps assign Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho to a "Mountain West" or "Rockies" region.

The problem with these maps is that the categories don't stop at state lines. Eastern OR and WA are like ID, while the western parts are more like [coastal] CA. Eastern PA is Northeastern, whereas western PA is Midwestern and the central part is basically Appalachia.

The eastern part of the Dakotas is in the Midwest but the western part is in in the Great Plains/Interior West region

Glownigger central should be Utah

implying there's a difference between the "the Midwest" and "the Great Plains".

Bitch, I've lived in Wyoming and Ohio. Aside from Wyoming people bitching more about seeing neighbors, it's the exact same people.

There's pretty much no difference in culture across the U.S everywhere is pretty much the same
The only region imo which has any real difference is the south

You think LA and Boston have the same culture?

What retard made this? I almost have to believe it's a troll
Why is there a random strip called "midlands"?

Pretty much yeah. I'd say the types you find in a big city are the same in just about every city

Really? Isn’t LA like spic central and Asian whereas Boston is historically Irish and still very Irish relatively speaking and just more White American in-general? And what about Hollywood? I don’t think Boston has that culture as superficiality as bad.

this is how we see from outside

All cities are the same hodge podge of generally liberal-hipsterish types irregardless of the ethnic makeup

That’s definitely not true with food. NYC you get good Italian-American stuff, LA Mexican.

That is …. no, just no..

utah

midwest

arizona

south

NJ, NYC, Philly in with the Upper South

Anon, I...

Food matters less than behavior and values when measuring culture
on those terms pretty much every big city in the country is practically identical culturally
you may be able to get more mexican food in the s.w, but the people in those cities are pretty much similar kinds of people as you would find in a city on the east coast

no but the entire south is scots-african

The southwest is part of the south, not the soutuwest and the west coast is the south west

What retard made this?

yes, they rebelled against Charles II because he made being a catholic no longer punishable by death. the scotland that white southerners' ancestors departed was chud to the core

Pennsylvania here. We are North

How do you figure? You have the NYC metro area which is its own thing, north you have New England (also its own thing) and the rural areas of NY and NJ are similar to the rural areas of New England. How does Pennsylvania fit in? Their rural areas aren’t like New England and their cities have their own Metro area which also should be distinct from the NYC one.

VA here, the North/South split happens in northern Virginia where there's a lot of spillover from Washington D.C. Western and Southern Virginia are very "South" but Northern Virginia and everything past it are pure yankee scum.

Nebraska is just plain mid

lmao accurate

It's from the book American Nations.

Are there any good maps of American biomes? Loke not that Köppen shit that isn't accurate for anything but some actually illustrative maps on climate?

the only oddball in the midwest is minnesota, because it's full of swedish descent people instead of german, and is subsequently extremely cucked compared to the rest of the midwest.

nebraska (omaha) is about to get a lot worse. I heard they just elected a turbo DEI democrat negroman as their mayor.

Anything west of the Mississippi is the "west" side of the US, we're very lopsided in that way. So the midwest is the landlocked territories west of the Mississippi River.

Not even true anymore. NYC has really good Sichuan Italian is played out
