my wife is from the Midwest. I have been living with a "Yankee" for decades.
This has also been bastardized over the years. Originally the term Yankee was reserved for people who resided in the Northeastern US. There’s a big cultural difference from New Yorkers and Detroiters or Clevelanders. Or say, someone from Boston and someone from Chicago. There are some southern folks who don’t want to have the entire region painted with a broad brush, so it is appreciated if the Midwest is not lumped in with rich elites from the east coast. Most midwestern folks are similar to southerners.

I consider OK and TX to be southern. There's no doubt in my mind. I'm 61 and spent my whole life east of Dallas and in Norman and SE Oklahoma.
I prefer southern heritage and the southern states, including all of the traditional SEC states. Having said that, what's funny to me is both OK and TX are WAYYYY further away from yankeeville than the southeastern states. You can hop in a car in Georgia and be in Cleveland in no time. Or leave KY and be in Philly pretty quick.
Down here, we are invaded by yanks but at least we ain't neighbors to them geographically.
