The thing is, up until 3 or 4 hundred years ago, those states belonged to either France, Spain, or Mexico, so the whole "be American and speak American, or get up and move on" shtick is really a contradiction, as they aren't the real Americans who were there for generations before.

o.k., Research Port St. Joe, FL, (the original capital) or maybe St. Augustine, FL (the oldest U.S. City). N. Fl is far more southern than you think, we are the "Red Neck Riviera".
What I wonder, is just how American your statement is, no less than theirs, you would basically kick Americans out for not acting more, in your perception, "American" hmmmm....
Not all red necks are southern and not all southerners are red necks, do you know what a real red neck is, really? They are like crackers off horses, pioneers and blue collar workers, they are Americans.
p.s. everything from Maryland down on the east is South, that would include D.C. so, I'm thinking it's not the south, it's the individual, right?
