DCsportsfan53 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 This was funny! I don't know about that Maryland one though... Yeah... he's obviously never been there... Maybe he's just only visited Bethesda and Potomac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 So, you believe Miami is primarily old rich people ? Really ? Do you not understand stereotypes? What's a Jewish girl's favorite soda? Diet Coke. What's Jewish girl's favorite beer? Corona Lite What's a Jewish girl's favorite wine? I wanna go to Miameeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

It's practically an extension of Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it's more an extension of New York. Take a random survey of any 10 latinos in South Florida, you will find that 7 of them moved down from New York City, one is from Cuba, and the other two are South Americans on a shopping trip.

mcsluggo Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Here are some of my stereotypes:California: The land of milk and honey populated by fruits and nuts Texas: Large beltbuckles, small minds Florida: "Holy **** it's hot. I'm moving back to New Jersey. Wait, it's not that hot" Massachusetts: Mass-holes. Maine: Really freakin' cold. The weather is cold too. Pennsylvania: State Law- All men over the age of 35 must grow a mustache Virginia: "The greatest! Military beaches, decaying central and SW region of state, not politically relevant since 1850, and a nova population attached like a leach to the neck of the nation's tax stream. Just ask anyone that lives there, Virginia > everywhere else" Alabama: Forest Gump lives there. .... ---------- Post added June-1st-2011 at 04:47 PM ---------- And since I did some negative, here are some positive: Oregon: Cool, green, and a perpetual light rain, with rocky beaches and large snow-capped peaks in the background. Actually, that's not a steretype... it's actually like that. Beautiful place. North Carolina: What Virginia wishes it was. Kentucky: Horse farms and really nice grass. Not that kind. The kind you mow. Most of the midwest except Michigan: The heart of America. Everyone talks like Tom Brokaw. The birthplace of our nation's most industrious people. Colorado: snow capped peaks, great fly fishing, and beautiful country, populated by people who appreciate it. virginia IS > than everywhere else... well... err... at least > North Carolina ! Nevada: the gambling and prostitution state (no stereotype, just reality... and it SHOULD be on the license plate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshow24 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 When I think of Missouri, I think: -Cheap gas -BBQ -The Pony Express -Mark Twain When I think of Iowa, I think: -Farming . . . . . . that's pretty much it. You think only good/boring thoughts about your former states. You must have good/boring memories there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's a lot of Cubans and Puerto Ricans in New York, and they comprise a lot of New Yorkers who transplant to Miami How else do you explain the fact that it's so hard to find someone in Miami who speaks English. And speaking of Miami jokes, heard the ones about Spanish being the official language, and English secondary ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshow24 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 That's kind of what Stereotypes are.I've been to Boston plenty of times and have never been to Southie.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I do like that people are getting offended by stereotypes in a thread about stereotypes. When I think of West Virginia, I think of rich people having dinner at the Greenbriar. I assume that is true for everyone else, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 So, you believe Miami is primarily old rich people ? Really ? Considering I live in Miami, no. It's just a simple joke map. The only part on that map that's actually accurate is calling I-4 the "Highway to Hell." Do you not understand stereotypes?What's a Jewish girl's favorite soda? Diet Coke. What's Jewish girl's favorite beer? Corona Lite What's a Jewish girl's favorite wine? I wanna go to Miameeeeeeeeeeeeeee! This definitely made me laugh. Yes' date=' I've heard it, and it's only a joke, not a reflection of reality.Have you ever been to Miami ? It's practically an extension of Cuba.[/quote'] Really only parts of it. Areas like Kendall, Doral, and University Park all have a lot of obvious Latin influence, this is true. Move further East, heading towards Brickell, Coconut Grove, and Miami Beach, and the story changes a bit as you're moving up in residential income level.

sean_e_b Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 You think only good/boring thoughts about your former states. You must have good/boring memories there. Missouri is 10x better than Iowa and by far the best state I've ever been to. When I think of Missouri I also think about the amazingly caring and generous people, the low-maintenance and unnaturally curvy roads that I love to hate, freedom/fewer restrictions, low taxes, and the great history of the culture and landscape which gives everything you see a story. It has it's faults as well: -bigger cities (over 50,000) often contain a trashy hybrid of the Missouri people I know -high obesity rate (I blame it on the great BBQ) -hearing so many people say "Missourah" gets highly annoying, but that's mostly a southern Missouri problem -tornadoes and flooding -Many of us talk similar to Brad Pitt, but, unfortunately, look nothing like him.
