My wife and her sister are from Mississippi and always tell me we're in the Midwest. Since the Southerners don't claim us, do you?

The Midwest is a census region and it's not included in that region, so no.

If it helps, the midwest used to be called North Central, but changed in the 80s to Midwest.
