Local stereotypes.

kimheartsscott

Tell me some. 

A few seconds ago, I realized I was standing at my back door staring at the rain.  OMG IT'S WATER FROM THE SKYYYYY!  I may not be originally from AZ, but I definitely participate in the rain-staring.

You go.

Skeezy looking people are meth-heads. This isn't always true, but usually.

kimheartsscott

Everyone tan is Mexican and can speak fluent Spanish.

jasmineh7777

Ditto Maratea. We have anti-meth billboards everywhere, and the are nasty.

People have asked me if we have electricity, and if I ride a horse to school. I say nope and yep, respectively. Those people may continue to think that we are stuck somehwere in the 1800s.

kimheartsscott

What's your horse's name?

For Alaska:
Do you have a dog sled team?
You have internet?
Do yo see a lot of polar bears?
People live in igloos.
It never gets light out
It never gets dark.
Its freezing all the time.

Roxy, you aren't just supposed to list facts.  That isn't how this works.

nda_roxybabe

I knew I was confused on how this works.

Heyyyy, wait a minuuuute!

There are a few stereotypes that have some basis though.
For example, we really loves our guns. Like, Gollum style love our guns.

And, there is zero tolerance for homosexuality. My best friend had to transfer schools from his small town to a bigger city here because he is gay, and the town made it apparent he wasn't welcome.

Its ok that its 115 because its a "dry heat" riiiiiiiiiiiight, because sticking your head in an oven feels good!

I'll buy this for $50. Also the second part makes me sad and weepy. It also makes me want to punch bigot nutsacks.

THIS SO VERY MUCH THIS.

nda_roxybabe

That because I live in Arizona I should be tan

jasmineh7777

He moved out of here as soon as he graduated. New York is much more accepting. It isn't much better when he visits though. We've learned what restaurants won't serve us and what bars to avoid.

kimheartsscott

There are cacti everywhere.

npasquale16

That the entire state is covered in highways.  We have farms (and rednecks), too.

nda_roxybabe

That theres always snow (obviously back on the Alaska one haha)

maratea

We (Indiana) are a bunch of backwoods hilljacks. We don't get out much.

nda_roxybabe

Oh and that we're "back woods, country hill billy, piece of poor white trash that brings cheap gifts to weddings that dont even cover the cost of your plate" and "LAME ASS WHITE GIRL"s. Oh, that was just me huh?

staceytaylor0704

I live in a trailer and have chickens running around in my yard.. don't wear shoes anywhere..
we also don't have malls here, and have alligators as pets.

Yea. Not so much.

There are more, but I will stop there. Makes me sad how the movies portray Alabama.. LOL

jasmineh7777

I do imagine you with a sweet Steel Magnolias accent Stacey. :P

jelique7

(California)That every black person is either from Compton or Inglewood, we (as in us black folk) only eat chicken and are related to Snoop Dog one way or another.

Haha! I just described 40 of my cousins. JK

Well we in NJ live next to all the sewage plants, are all fake bronzed and have big hair.  Also, apparently everyone is Italian or Greek.  ANd the entire state is just a highway.

Blueyed228

We dont pronounce our R's.

Drive like maniacs.

Traffic everywhere.

People can drive awesome in the snow but if its raining all of a sudden everyone forgets what the big wheel ans 2 pedals in front of them are.

Curse alot.

Lots of Irish.

Say wicked.  Alot.

lovetothinkpink

I'm an Orlando resident.

People think we go to theme parks all the time,and that everyone can get you tickets to all of them (the last part is kind of true lol).

[Deleted User]

That everyone is a Carolina or Duke basketball fan.

That we are uneducated and lazy.

That equality doesn't exist.

MarriedInAFever

Kentucky = Deliverance

baystateapple

Everyone is a Yankees fan (definitely not true, but it depends on if you live north or south of 1-91).

We're all wealthy preppies.

We all secretly want to be New Yorkers.

We don't have accents.
