The Midwest? Isn't it super humid during the summer? Is there clear distinctions between Midwest states?
It’s certainly no more humid than here!
The rust belt/older/more industrial areas of the Midwest like Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, I would include Chicago in this as well and Pittsburgh, are different than the areas further south and west like Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Omaha. I grew up in the rust belt and the “other Midwest” feels pretty different.
"I grew up in the rust belt and the “other Midwest” feels pretty different." How so?

I'm from here and agree. People are not really nice here. SC maybe great if you are white, but as a black woman, not so much.
I’ve been to SC — Once. The tourist-focused restaurant that I was in literally called in a cop because I ate a bite (literally one bite of food) that someone at the table offered me. They then charged me for getting an all-you -can-eat special. When I asked them about the charge, they brought over a cop. If this was their policy, I sure wish they had been clear about it while I was still eating — so I could have at least taken advantage of the options available with the special. The cop was polite and professional, and I have no complaints about his behavior.
That was my last trip to SC. I’m not white.
We're missing half the story here. You ate at a buffet, didn't pay but ate off someone else's plate? That's frowned upon no matter what color or nationality you are. I know someone (not white) who tried this at a korean all you can eat buffet and was screamed at and kicked out by the managers.

I 100% agree with this. It is amazing. People in NYC really look for connection. The south is fake nice.
When you make generalized assumptions about an entire group of people (in your case, multiple states of people), it says more about you.
So, you’re fine with making generalized assumptions about whole entire states — the topic of this thread — but not about multinational states?
Texas and California assumptions are ok — but not assumption about New England or the Midwest? Just checking.
“multiple states” not “multinational “. Related rant: I need to start proofreading better. I’ve long had a love/hate relationship with autocorrect, but recently it seems to be going beyond making spelling corrections — to changing correctly spelled words to completely different words. I hate it.
PP here. I didn't say or imply what you're questioning. I don't think generalizations about any group of people are okay.

I unfortunately grew up here. It used to be nice and not crowded with nice people. I leave whenever possible and cannot wait to retire.
People from out west are very nice. Buffalo New York, very nice. Long Island, New York, NOT nice.
