<p>Do you guys hear stereotypes about people by where they lived?</p>
<p>Bc I recently talked to a college student, and she said everyone is stereotyped by where they came from, and she said it was usually true.</p>
<p>Like the people from the Boston area were called Jabs.....Jewish American Barbies.</p>
<p>What are some stereotypes that seem to be true?</p>
<p>What are Californias thought to be outside of the best state in the world???</p>
<p>there are definitely a lot of locational stereotypes...
I'd say southerners are very stereotyped, although not having spent much time in the south I can't say if they're true or not!</p>
<p>Not all of us Southerners are dumb backwards fundamentalist hicks! I promise! I know plenty of atheists and agnostics and really awesome not-crazy Christians, and none of them are in any way dumb or hickish.</p>
<p>Basically:</p>
<p>Southerners: evangelical, gun toting, racist hicks
Texans: same as above except they think they are better than everyone
New Englanders: Liberal, Yankee, latte drinking sissies
Californians: Pot-smoking hippies
New Jersey: Dirty, Rough people who deserve pity</p>
<p>Don't forget </p>
<p>Arkansas: The In-bred State</p>
<p>midwesterners...
oh wait...
guess they aren't stereotypes if they true.
except for maybe the one about being friendly. I don't think that's true.</p>
<p>south:baptist, cowboys, and football players/fans</p>
<p>oklahoma: apparently some northern people still think there are indians running around naked in oklahoma.</p>
<p>There aren't?</p>

</p>
<p>So wait, Californians are the best state in the world? </p>
<p>If that is the statement you meant to type, then I also have another statement: Californians cannot write in English.</p>
<p>California actually has more indians than OK</p>
<p>lol there are no cowboys in the south, i assure you</p>
<p>I think the OP was saying:
other than being the best state in the world, what do other people think about CA?
if you look, the OP is from CA, so I think that's what they meant.</p>
<p>ohhh....well from a southern point of view (from my ultra conservative town), CA is full of liberal elitist, anti religious, embrace sex like drinking water, and doesn't know what FOX news is.</p>
<p>and every girl does her best paris hilton impression</p>
<p>Apparently when my Aunt was in college they called them Japs (Jewish American Princessess), but I'm pretty sure nowadays there's something politically incorrect about that.</p>
<p>"doesn't know what FOX news is" You say that like it's a bad thing. Fox news is biased to the point that many people don't even consider it a legitimate news station.</p>
<p>new england: prep school starbuck's loving rich kids
south: polite friendly conservative religious cowboy hicks
midwest: friendly laid back hicks
west: maxc0re gay liberal hippies...unless we're talking about socal, in which case it's plastic-surgery enhanced blond chicks with fake tans</p>
<p>and as far as states, there's probably some states that stand out like, cali (provided the nor cal/so cal split), wisconsin (cheese!), idaho (potatoes!), minnesota (that state exists?), texas (cowboys), florida (old people), jersey (ex italian mafia members), etc. but most state stereotypes vary depending on the region...;)</p>
<p>you're probably from CA, haha.</p>
<p>i moved here three yrs ago, so it's definitely an experience for me to see most people here watch FOX news 24/7.</p>
<p>Most people find people from Cali know very little about anything outside their state. They don't know thy have hot summers in the Midwest--only think it snows. They don't tknow that there are Gap stores etc everywhere now.</p>
