Fayetteville is not southern. Not by a long stretch.

If your point is that neither Fayetteville or Columbia is southern then I would agree with you.

But Lexington, Nashville and Knoxville are? When Lexington is north while Nashville and Knoxville fall on the same geographical southern line?

Also, Knoxville and Fayetteville have both the same minority population and elevation.. What is different? They are east of the Mississippi River.. Okay than that cuts out the entire state of Arkansas and 90% of Louisiana. Furthermore, the Mississippi River is not the real geographical line of east vs west of the United States.

Arkansas State (Jonesboro) isn't southern either? If not, Memphis, which is a stones throw from Jonesboro, sure isn't southern.

Basically you are totally disregarding the difference between the Deep and Upper South. Heck, drive directly east of Little Rock and you run into Oxford, MS is that not the south either?
