What Are the Myths About YOUR State?

Question by 「Buta Uri」♥『聴豕』: What are the myths about YOUR state?
What are some myths and stereotypes? Which are true? Which are false?

__Nebraska__

1. Nebraska is flat, like your girlfriend in junior high {{definitely not. My hometown of Auburn is nothing but hills and it sucks without a car!}}

2. Nebraska is full of a bunch of rednecks. {{its not FULL of rednecks. It depends on where you are. In smaller towns, it may seem more redneck but in larger cities, people are normal. In defense, all states have rednecks.}}

3. Nebraska = corn and cows, not much else {{absolutely NOT true. There are MANY things in Nebraska. That’s just our main source of income. You will see lots of fields and cows but there’s much more in cities.}}

4. Nebraska is mostly just like old Western movies {{no one I know likes Western movies except for my grandpa and mom but they were raised in Alabama and Arizona.}}

5. Nebraskans don’t talk smart {{Everyone I know speaks normally and has pretty good speaking skills. You can’t take the ignorance of the smaller cities as a fact for the whole state.}}

6. Kool-Aid was invented in Nebraska
In Hastings, actually. Nothing cooler than that was invented in your state.

7. Nebraskans have Southern accents. {{no one in the Midwest has a Southern accent. If they do, they weren’t raised in Nebraska}}

8. Everyone in Nebraska lives on a farm. {{Barely anyone I knew was raised on a farm which is saying something considering that I come from a farming town.}}

9. Nebraskans don’t go to/finish school. {{It’s hard to say on this. There are a lot of people who have to work instead of going to school because in Nebraska, it can be hard to work. Especially if you’re in a small city. Most, though, finish school and go to college.}}

10. Everyone does drugs in Nebraska. {{Yes, Nebraska is the center for meth but that doesn’t mean that everyone does drugs. That’s like saying that every New Yorker likes baseball.}}

11. Nebraska has no crime except drugs. {{hahahahahahhahhahahha watch Omaha news.}}

12. Nebraska has hot, dry summers and hazardous winters. {{Partially true. It gets extremely hot here but it’s not always dry. And winter here can be terrible. They cancelled school one day when the wind chill was -29 degrees. A year or two ago, we got about a foot of snow in one night. Weather also changes pretty fast. We maybe have a week of spring or autumn before it gets to summer or winter weather.}}

There ya go. Those are the stereotypes I can think of. What are your stereotypes?
