Oklahoma: America's red-headed step-child.
(I identify as Midwestern but other Okies disagree. With a deep-Southern father, and a northeastern mother, growing up in OK, I was always going to be a muddle.)

Oklahoma seems pretty southern, but honestly, Southerners are notorious for thinking that no other state is Southern but theirs (even if they are farther north than several others.) Growing up in Louisiana, we always thought that Louisiana was the epitome of Southerness...it's not. It's a special brand of Southern as are every Southern state. OK is just a really western "Southern" state.
