[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you in DC? [b]If so, it's weird that people are like that because this city is full of transplants from all over the country and the world[/b]. As former military, we've lived all over the place and haven't encountered people saying anything disparaging. The most I get asked is how living in Kentucky was an LGBT person (completely fine, if you're curious). [/quote]

Very true. We're European living in DC. I have gradually come to understand that the USA is a very heterogeneous place, but when I first came here, I didn't know that some people looked down on others because they came from the midwest. You know where I got that? DCUM. No one in real life has ever said anything like this. I know people from many geographic origins in the US (west, midwest, east, south) and they've never criticized other states.

Sounds like you're not picking your friend group correctly.[/quote]

I’m from the Midwest, and people say stuff like this to me all of the time.  
My college roommate thought the golf course behind my parents house was a farm. 
 My BIL (life long east coaster) said that he could never consider living anywhere other than NY or LA because he isn’t interested in practicing “farm law.”  (To be fair, my dad and brother have a fairly lucrative real estate law practice that involves a lot of building on farmland).
When I was interviewing for residency in NYC, a physician told me that they see things there that you don’t see in the Midwest: like trans people and opiate addiction.
