Re: Minnesota

[atelierlune]

I live in Minneapolis! o/

People who have lived here and don't anymore always complain about winters here. Always. For me, it's part of who we are and what makes us strong.

We are assumed to be much like the people in Fargo... and some people here DO speak that way, but we have many different racial groups here as well.

I don't feel like "Minnesota Nice" is a thing that get's batted around as much as it used to, and there are definitely aspects of that that are true, but Minnesotans tend to stick to their kinds as well, and that makes it harder for people from elsewhere (or who just look like they are) to make friends.

Re: Minnesota

[(Anonymous)]

Oddly enough, I moved from south Florida to Minneapolis several years ago and found it much easier to make friends. Keep in mind I definitely look like a non-native; I'm half Asian and tan really well. I think it's because I took my education very seriously, which is rare in Florida but better accepted here. I think there is some tribal behavior, but I'm seeing a bit more mixing.

The one thing I do find accurate about Minnesota Nice is its passive-aggressive nature. That's been the hardest thing for me to stomach, and I still find myself unleashing my inner New Yorker. Granted, I think about it more carefully before rolling down my window and swearing at some ridiculous motherfucker speeding along Hennepin Avenue, but I still occasionally say fuck in public at levels meant to be heard by others. I think once I get some company in that I'll feel totally at home.

Re: Minnesota

That's another thing: we apparently can't drive.

Re: Minnesota

I'd agree when it comes to merging, but for overall quality of driving/drivers nothing beats the shitaliciousness of Floridians.

Re: Minnesota

I'm from Fargo! Well, right on the Minnesota side of it anyway.

I tend to assume the Minnesota stereotypes don't apply to people who live in "the cities". Once you get out of the urban area, people have stronger accents, say "uff-dah" (I sure do), and maybe the Minnesota Nice thing is more prevalent. I mean, for the most part, people are ridiculously friendly, have REALLY long good-byes (standing at the entryway for a half an hour talking before leaving really is a thing), and so on.

When I think of the cities though, I don't think of people there as having that kind of culture as much? I've never lived there so I can't say for sure, but the smaller city/town/rural vibe seem to me to really have that Scandinavian heritage (or if they don't directly, they still grow up in that culture and thus have the accent). Could just be my own personal experience though.
