Absolutely not. Culture has far more to it than politics.
I can always tell with food. In the Midwest you don't dare use any spice except salt and maybe some rosemary on Christmas. Anything else is too fancy. The West Coast has their own style, northeast has chowder and seafood, except salmon which is the PNW. Interesting how they all separate.
I remember driving through the Midwest and I just wanted a sparkling water. Anything bubbly. They had coolers and coolers of soda and added sugar drinks, two small things of actual water, and one thing of liquid death, with added sugar. Wild place
Food is a big cultural thing, but it can also travel. For example we can get good Kimchi now. But I would never refer to a large section of the US as Korean.
