Sterotypes for your city or state.

For some reason in Texas, there's this stereotype about people who walk and have a tan to where they get asked if they have a cigarette. It must be common for people who walk to be stopped and thought of as people who smoke and asked for a cigarette. I usually get stopped by a random person usually 8 times a day which is kind of annoying.

Everyone in Colorado is a pothead...it may be true, but our economy is rockin' so suck it.

I live in Wyoming, which the only things that live here are Jackalopes. "on the internet, no one knows you're a Jackalope."

Slightly off topic, as an Englishman I would LOVE to master that peculiar accent that Dick Van Dyke sported in the film "Mary Poppins".

We're all just honest nice hardworking people here in the heartland. Well I am, but not in the traditional sense .

California, the land of the Palm Tree.

Nonsense, there is only one species of palm native to California, and it is only found naturally in two insignificant canyons in Imperial County. The so-called California Fan Palm is actually more of a Mexican variety than anything else.

It seems like the most common Canadian stereotypes are that everyone here is a hockey fan, eats bacon all the time, and says Eh at the end of every sentence. I have no interest in hockey whatsoever except for the ungrammatical name of the Toronto team, I don't like bacon, and I have never said Eh before.

I live in southern Ontario. Here are some annoying stereotypes:

-We all are extremely polite. (Not true)
-We are jut American's neutral, pure neighbour. (Not true, Canada is corrupt)
-We all like hockey (not true)
-It's extremely cold here (probably just as cold as most of the northern American states).
-We only drink Tim Horton's coffee (not true, most people have switched to McDonald's coffee)
-We wear wool sweaters (I have never seen someone wear a wool sweater in Canada)
-Canadians are gay (disproof by counterexample, I am heterosexual and I am Canadian. Therefore not all Canadians are gay. Q.E.D)
-We eat a lot of Kraft Dinner (I don't know where this one came from)


The only true stereotype is lots of us hate the US. I hear a lot of people verbally attacking the USA.

idaho. potatoes and nazis..
also we're actually pretty well described by one of the car dealers annual "buy a truck, get a gun" sale

Kansas

It's flat here: That's true of the western part of the state, but not the eastern part, where I live. The terrain doesn't just become flat when you cross the Missouri/Kansas state line.

We apparently have tornadoes every day: Tornado watches are not that common. Maybe two per month in spring, and they almost never actually become tornadoes.

Johnson County

We're rich suburban snobs: I'm from eastern Missouri originally, and this can be true to an extent when compared to over there, but the majority of people receive average income and are just like anybody else (which, in the case of NTs, means nonsensical).

my mom is from pennsylchusetts and my dad is from pennsyltucky. i lean toward pennsylchusetts.

I live in Portland and I keep hearing it rains here all the time or everyday. That is not quite true because we can go days without rain and I didn't see any rain today even though the ground was wet. Also we get warm weather in the summer and it doesn't rain that much that time of year. But yet we do get a lot of rain but it does not rain here every single day.

Spain: Flamenco, bulls, olé (?), paella, party hard everyday (?) (but I´m totally disagree with this)

Madrid: Capital of Spain, chotis, Santiago Bernabeu (I don´t like Real Madrid xD) and I don´t really know what other people think about Madrid...but I hate when others compare it with Barcelona...(two different cities). And some people think Barcelona is better!

In the stereotypes...i don´t like party, i don´t like bulls (bullfight), flamenco ok, because it is a tradition from Andalusia and I like it.

Michigan:

- Is a province of Canada.
- Everyone is either a farmer or an auto worker.
- Everyone drinks Stroh's or Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.
- If you're a fan of U of M, then you're a stuck-up liberal rich person.
- If you're a fan of MSU, then you're a beer-drinking rednecked party animal.
- Children learn to drive snowmobiles before they learn to drive cars.
- A typical lunch consists of pickled bologna, saltines, and Vernors.
- Everyone speaks like dey're one o'da Yoopers, eh?
