I live in Austin and here are some stereotypes I hear:
-We're all liberal
-We're mostly gay.
-Everyone here is a hipster or hippie
-The East side is full out ghetto (they're trying to gentrify it)
-SXSW is our main event. (ACL Too!)
Stereotypes of every city:
NYC: Everyone here is rude. A lot of Italians, Puerto Ricans, Jews, etc.
L.A.: Main industry is Hollywood and Glamour
Chicago: Hard Workers, Good Pizza, Projects, Corrupt
Houston: Everyone here is Fat.
Philadelphia: Gritty
Phoenix: Tons of Anti-Immigration supporters
San Antonio: Little Monterrey.
San Diego: Laid Back Mexican beach bums.
Dallas: Corporate Soulless White People and Mexicans. Texan Stereotype mania.
San Jose: Coffee Drinking Computer Nerds.
Austin: Texican San Francisco/Portland
Jacksonville: This is the biggest city in Florida?
Indianapolis: White People obsessed in Race cars and Basketball.
San Francisco: Tons of Hipsters and Asian People
Columbus: Who Cares about this city?
Charlotte: Still Racist to this day.
Fort Worth: Basically Dallas but with more Cowboys.
Detroit: Thugs, Crime, Serial Rapists, and Car Manufacturers.
El Paso: Peaceful Ciudad Juarez
Memphis: BBQ and Black People
Seattle: Coffee sipping hipsters who love the rain and listen to Alternative. Microsoft.
Denver: Pot Smoking Ski Bums.
Washington D.C.: Politics and Corruption.
Boston: College Town (with extra Irish Drunkards)
Nashville: White People Music
Baltimore: Riot Town, The Wire
Oklahoma City: Windy with Native Americans.
Louisville: Where South meets Midwest. KFC!
Portland: Weird Hipsters and Purple Haze. Environmental Elitists.
Las Vegas: Gambling and Crime every day.
The most white people I saw were in the tourist areas or were military people in uniform. I also only saw like 5 black people the entire time I was in San Antonio (about a week) and probably 4 of them were in military uniforms. I didn't see any Asians. Other than that, most of San Antonio IS Mexican. You even hear Spanish everywhere in San Antonio.
Location: East Central Pennsylvania/ Chicago for 6yrs.

Just a quick note..... ALL Chicago's Notorious HOUSING PROJECTS ARE GONE. They were ALL TORN DOWN. They once housed 200,000 people. Could be a reason Chicago's last Population census lost that many people. Latest census showed a gain of 82 residents. Not knowing where many went and vast undercount. Black flight also has been occurring despite Downtown population skyrocketed to nearly 200,000 residents.
1)The entire city is one big ghetto
2) You will end up getting knifed/shot/carjacked if you go to Detroit
3) There is nothing to do for recreation/culture in Detroit
4) Detroit's entire population is black
5) The downtown areas are in a state of decay and nothing is being done about it
There are some areas of the city to avoid, but there are many attractions including restaurants, museums, and sporting events. The population is relatively diverse...and there are initiatives to rebuild and develop sections which have fallen into disrepair over the years.
