what stereotypes do you have for the different areas of the us? just curious since we had some french girl couchsurfing at our house who had visited like every state over the last few years and she brought up some interesting stereotypes that i had never heard
so i want to hear them all

[Nyerp]

i want to hear what she said

[YPrrrr]

Oh I love stereotyping states. Don't know where I would start. But since you're from wa... Washingtonand oOregon are the same. Hippies and lumberjacks. Or people that wear plaid flannel at least. Washington is the big brother. Oregon tries to be all innovative and unique to distinguish itself. Just like the Oregon ducks and their uniforms

Iowa is made of corn according to kids in my school.

it is. Same with Nebraska. Kansas is all wheat. Missouri is all meth.

Pennsylvania is ignorant in the middle, proud in the west, and assholes in the east. Proud is probably the worst of them. Pittsburgers are obnoxious.

[YPrrrr]

Damn im a good middle-east Pennsylvanian.

Another pa difference is the west thinks everything of theirs is the best and infallible. See Joe paterno. The east finds fault with everyone and everything including themselves. FUCK YOU SANTA

The part about the east being assholes is true

she talked about how the southern states were super hospital, and had great things to say about Louisiana and Tennessee (which i thought was random) in terms of niceness
the most interesting thing that came up for me was how apparently people from the east coast view the west coast as being more passive aggressive, while the west coast views the east coast as rude or too forward, which i can kind of see
there is a lot of passiveness over here

[Hiro]

i've heard all of those and would agree

outside of Los Angeles honestly I think most east coasters would probably just see the west coast as wussy hippies. Maybe snooty. Snooty really the closest thing to passive aggressive. Maybe snooty isn't the right word. Morally superior? Idk due to their environmentalism and such.

Yes the south is very hospitable... As long as you're visiting. If you live there... Well my personal stereotype is that you can conform to their beliefs or be shunned from the community. There is a strong southern identity and they don't like that being challenged except in larger cities

it's true

[snoorkel]

country-wide media steretype of LA: dirty, blacks, mexican slums // paradisiacal celebrity wonderland
norcal and pac-nw: hipsters/liberals/yuppies, lots of volvos and VWs
midwest: fatass whites
texas: guns, military rule (i've never been to texas)

LA stereotype of rest of country: boring; whites

[YPrrrr]

Yeah Midwest is a bunch of fatties. The south is actually much worse but considering the amount of meat and cheese in Midwest dishes it's unsurprising. Also stereotyped as nice. Nothing exists between Minneapolis and Seattle except for pretty parks.

Arizona and Florida are the two dumbest states in the country. Old person correlation? Mississippi is the most racist.

[silvertone]

PA: home of the godstar children and pittsburg

the other states: there to serve the god stars.
