What do people on the East and West coasts think of Midwesterners?

Question

Just wondering, because my cousin (in New York City) thinks that we are all rednecks.

Funny you should say that Bacchus, that happened like an hour away from me.

Answer 1

The stereotypes all depict Midwesterners as bible-thumping
farmers. At the same time,New Yorkers aren't portrayed well
either so your cousin can't talk. Unfortunately many people allow
their view of the world to be dictated by the media,which often
takes the narrow view of things.

Answer 3

Hard workers, very nice, hospitable. Great people in general.
But people from movies like "Boy's don't cry" hurt the general population a little.

Answer 4

it's a gross generalization, but by and large they consider midwesterners to be hardworking, virtuous, but a bit more philistine -- less liberal and enlightened than the coastal, more multicutural/cosmopolitan types. midwesterners are also perceived as being more religious and conservative, which is probably accurate.
