Nobody in NYC wants to be around judgy xenophobic small town New Englanders. You guys wrote the book on how to form mindless mobs of gossippy townies, make torches and carry pitchforks = think of the Salem Witch Trails.
Diversity, including the diversity from “transplants” (international ones and national ones) makes for a dynamic and interesting city. If the city had no transplants it would not be nyc and instead would be a stale and insular place. Even the often joked about mid-western transplants make for an interesting addition. For example, I was out to dinner this weekend with a smattering of transplants: 3 from Ohio/Michigan, 2 other from Westchester, 1 from Puerto Rico, only 1 “native” from the BX (and even she had foreign born parents). 2 others were there but I didn’t catch where they are from. Anyway, the conversation was dynamic and interesting and at one point we even discussed midwestern culture which revolves around attending state fairs with cow competitions and demolition derbies and the cuisine which is mostly casseroles made from canned goods.
That sounds rough... Is this story about food mostly casseroles from canned goods a Halloween story? It's scary
