oh.... well you dated a girl in the past who was Italian.... My mistake. I guess that discounts all of my Italian family members and the thousands of Italians I grew up around.

Stereotypes are anchored in truth and there for a reason, remember that. Don't pretend like Italians are some soft sheep from the Southern Hills of France. New York City is all brown and black haired people with brown eyes. Lots of Italians and Jews. The Midwest has more blonde hair and blue eyed people. Green eyed people as well. That's what I don't like about NYC. They're all black and brown haired with brown eyes...BORING! Watch a Yankee game...nothing but brown and black haired men with brown eyes looking all filled with hot air. I hate that about New York.

Fake blondes no doubt...I sure hope you weren't at Game 1 when the Phillies won. I was at Game 1 on the South Side when the ChiSox and company knocked off Roger Clemens' Astros. It was awesome experiencing that World Series win with 6 choppers in the air and a buzz around the south side like you would not believe. It made the $900 ticket worth it.
See the Midwest has Italians and Jews which is a great thing. However, what separates the Midwest from the East Coast, like New York City, is the shear amount of Swedish, German, and Irish that exist in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, etc.

There is a large number of Italians in the Cleveland area.. one of the highest populations in the nation.
And Cleveland is NOT all blonde hair/blue eyes. There is a substantial number of immigrants from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Not to mention Puerto Rico..
Your post pretty much sums up every stereotype I believed ALL the midwest was like as well. Puerto Ricans are here in abundance in Cleveland. They are in Chicago as well, but not really many more places in the Midwest. But those 2 cities and the Northeast make up the majority of Puerto Ricans. I never met a PR while living in DC.
So you discount me talking about Chicago's groups just to fit your argument?
Do you realize that Italians are know as being overbearing? You must live in Wyoming or something...

Wow, you're on a roll to **** a whole lot of people off. (I had to admit that IROC thing cracked me up though)
The East Coast is centered around NYC...a place filled with Italians. We all know how Italians are. The Midwest is laid back except in the cities like Chicago. The cities, like Chicago or Detroit, don't have that in your face attitude that you see on the East Coast but they are shady and I wouldn't cross those people.
At1WithStereotypes would be a better screen name I think.
I can't put my finger on it, but there just seems to be something different about the way people in the midwest, even in an urbanite city like Chicago think vs. the way people in east coast urban environments like Philadelphia and Boston think.
Can anyone identify what exactly this is about and why?
I have no idea myself.
The problem is of course is that there are over 100 million living in the Midwest and the Northeast in dozens of major cities and countless smaller towns. Anyone who thinks they are expert on the whole Northern region is probably relying too much on stereotypes. Or at best, they are just guessing.

It was already taken, sorry.
