That didn't make sense to me, either. Same thing with North Carolina.

I read them all-
And every one is on point, lol
I was out a few nights ago & met a few guys from Arkansas--

The description nailed it:
*Arkansas is drinking straight whiskey and asking people
if they want to arm wrestle to prove how manly they are.*

Another- totally know ppl from there just like this-
Colorado is a beautiful, perfectly athletic couple wearing all Patagonia,
drinking craft beer talking about their last mountaineering trip, with an air of aloofness.

This- hell yes.....
Illinois is a larger gentleman, eating deep dish pizza and drinking a Goose Island.
He's reminiscing about the '85 Bears and how "this is the Cubs year".

Texas is singing karaoke about how great Texas is--
Lmao I believe it


Very amusing list

How come this reads as if the bar is filled practically with all white patrons?

Most of these were just lazy stereotypes. With these lists you can always tell that the author is far more familiar with some places than with others.

Probably because the US is about 75 percent white (if you include Hispanics - most of which are technically white in the US).

Stupid. Some of them were OK, but just taking the usual stereotypes and applying them to the bar scene. Nothing new here.

Looks like the author was from Colorado, huh?

And the bartender, who is from Canada, is laughing up his sleeve, because of the hidden video cameras in the restroom. A few more nights and he will have enough footage for the next installment of "Americans go wild ". Just kiddin,

Yep. The author has no clue about Iowa for example. Iowans don't beg for attention. They know exactly who they are, are fine with it, and don't give a rip about what anyone else thinks.

"New Jersey is a man of Italian/Mediterranean descent wearing a wifebeater and track pants. He's downing jagerbombs and giving people the finger."

Why do I never seem to run into this stereotype? I'm all over Northern New Jersey & this ubiquitous NJ type eludes me over & over again.
