“Southerners have a weak constitution regarding cold temperatures. I recall, when I lived in the south, seeing people wearing parkas when the mercury hit 60.”

What color were they? I have never seen white people wearing parkas in the South at 60 degrees. I see plenty walking around in tee shirts at that temperature. What are you calling a parka anyway, a simple hoody?
I’ll grant that we are a little cold sensitive, that comes from alternating between cold and hot. In the rare times that we have a long spell of colder weather people start wearing less clothing as their bodies adjust to the cold. I have spent long periods in colder climate including a whole year in Iceland and I noticed that it becomes much more tolerable when it doesn’t switch back and forth so much.
Mostly white people wearing parkas. And I mean a parka, not a hoodie.
