It is next to impossible to "become" a Southerner by simply moving to the
South. I have known non-natives who've lived there for many years that are
still considered "yankees" or even "damned yankees".

Even thought my entire family, including my parents, were born and raised
in the South, I was actually born in California and only lived in the South
as an infant before our family moved away. I was never considered quite
Southern. :-)
