Yep. Anyway, to be serious here a moment. I'm sure that's one of the reasons why. I do know that when I'm a bit tired or feeling punchy at night my southern accent creeps out and does it's dirty work. It just happens. Then I get back into my nondescript news anchor accent.

LOL I've spent a fair amount of time in Florida. It's not all overrun with Latinos imo. Although I'd agree that lots of Florida isn't clasically "southern".

But sorry, every time I hear about someone wanting to move to Florida - they don't say, "Oh, I think they have more jobs there"; I hear "Oh, it's lovely and WARM there".

YOU chose Florida to make your comment, maybe you should check it out again. it IS very much Latino. I was not even thinking Florida in my first post do a check and see how many Northerners have moved South for JOBS and I dont mean Fla. try North Carolina South Carolina and Georgia . and they dont come for the WEATHER really.......

My best friend and some family live in Florida - as does Ray, who apparently doesn't think it's entirely Latino. Some areas, sure. Cripes.

Ok fine, you think they go for the jobs, I like many go for the WEATHER. We do have jobs up north, in case you think we don't.

I'd say many go for the lack of state income tax.

Yes! I grew up without it! In South Texas!

However I didn't have a thing for wearing long black dresses and petticoats in the middle of summer.

That his/her site?

Would explain the "run over by Latinos" sentiment I guess.
