Please, America-landers, are there unfair 'stereo-types' for peeps from different US states, and if so, can you share any for an interested UK-lander?

And just what the fook is the apparent problem with those from Tennurssee?

Valentine there is nothing wrong with Tennessee it is a beautiful state but yes there are stereotypes about people in the south. They are not true but I guess it will take years or or forever to stop these unfair Concepts of the people living here in the south.

@Exiled I'm sure there isn't anything actually wrong with them (though I do see one here who seems to have a much different view!) - I just wondered whether they were being singled out, and whether others suffered the same etc etc etc. My daughter is going to live there very shortly. I'd like any inside track on unfair 'prejudice' if that should exist. 'Homework & research', Exiled ;)

People from Massachusettes are snobs...oh wait, that was found to be true in a study done on the state.
Valentine · M
@cherokeepatti ...they're probably recently from the UK, don't-u-know... ;)

@Valentine old money and old history in that area....

I live in the northwest and we're considered laid back, easy going which I agree with. As for the other states you are correct, all the states have labels which they shouldn't. But then again, I lived in California years ago, and the personalities there were different than from my state. More outgoing, friendlier.

Not all of elected officials from Illinois go to prison. Some merely flirt with the idea.

(Oh, and don't pronounce the 's' in Illinois. It instantly identifies you as at least not being native to the state, at worst, uneducated if you're from other parts of the US.)

@SW-User LMFAO (but hesitates... this might just 'be true'... ;) )

I think the Southern states get the worst. The stereotype stuck with them is the "stupid" label. Hillbillies and rednecks. Obviously, it's not true, but it's the stereotype associated with them.

I'm from Missouri and we all carry guns and make meth. Not true of course.
Valentine · M
@abe182 *makes a note* ...give Missouri a miss... ;) (Is 'Missouri' anywhere near 'Tennurssee'?)
abe182 · 46-50, M
@Valentine it's a great state. Good people. Yes they share a small border.
Valentine · M
@abe182 We're talking Tennessee here, of course? Thank you.

Tennessean DNA is different from Alabamian DNA.


Alabamian DNA is pure

@Alabamiangods What, as in "everyone has the same DNA"? Last time I did biology, this was 'a bad, bad thing'...
