First I would like to say that I feel that grose overgernerailizing of any one person based on their place of origin is wrong. I find that there are open-minded people and closed-minded people everywhere. There is some truth in every stero-type, however, some are vestigages from previous eras.

I am from the western sububs of Philadelphia, otherwise known as the main line. it is a very interesting place to grow up, as it is halfway between philly and Lancaster, home to the Amish community. one think i notice about how people from my area are treated is that people in NY think we talk with a southern accent, and people from DC think we speak with a northern accent.

Some of our views of other areas is that nobody outside this area can make a good philly cheese steak, or drive, although we drive like crap in other states, it has something to do with completly different road design, i still dont understand the roads in NJ, thank god they are getting rid of those circles,
pretty much anyone west or south of DC are southern hicks, and blame bible belt mentality for our current international 'sittuation,'
although they fail to realize that anywhere west of pheonixville pa has a small percentage of the population that has at least one confederate flag,

Most of the common view point of people i talk to in this area believe that the rest of the world thionk that americans are fat, lazy slobs, which to a certian percentage is true, however, there there is a much larger percentage of the population in the states that are over achievers that think that they are too fat, when instead, if they were to loose 15 more lbs, they would be considered anorexic.

We gennerally see Brittish as having bad food, although McDonalds does nothing for our reputation. French are cheese munching, wine swilling, surrender monkies... that drown their food in mayonaise. Germans are over anal, leather fetishists.
Italians are just crazy.


As far as the money thing is concerned, anywhere with vast suburban areas will generally generate a lot of overworked bad parents, trying to make up fro their bad parenting by spoilling their already unsupervised kids, but thats a story for another thread...

I live in California.... the land of mix.


Everyone is different in California that you never know where anyones from.

There's not a lot of Californians, as like a smaller state, where peoples ancestors have grown up there since way back when.

We don't really have an identitiy.

It's pretty chill and everybody just does their own thing.

Let me tell you.

Next door to me is a Vietnamese Family, the other side is a Chinese Family, next to them is a Mexican Family, next to them is a Black Family, next to them is really weird white people, and next to them is Mormons. And I am white.

I don't know how you describe the typical Californian, except everybody AND their mom is getting stomach bypass surgery (stomach stapling) to loss weight.

I don't really know what that has to do with the topic but oh well....

im not sure about stereotypes, portland is pretty open minded, but thanks to james kim a lot of people are starting to think the cold weather and asians dont mix. not me, but other people, me, i think james kim and cold weather didnt mix, simply because he had no idea what he was doing.

by this i dont mean i think that asians and cold weather dont mix, other people do.
i just think that james kim + cold weather didnt mix

Heres some blatant stereotypes that ive heard of american people. By the way, i in no way support these statements as true.

New Jersey is a shit hole.

Boston is full of Irish people.

Everyone in California surfs

Everyone in Orange county is beautiful or rich.

Everyone in San Fransisco is gay or a Hippy.

People from Alabama are hillbillys.

People from the Bible Belt are all raving neo conservatists.

Everyone from New York is gangsta, gay, or in the fashion industry.

Philadelphia is a huge Ghetto.

thats all i can think of at the moment. As i said before i dont support any of the steretypes ive listed. Theyre just what spring to mind.

Oh, and Idaho is the most boring place in the world...
