Yea, but I am referring to the typical "lets give Philly to New Jersey" crap you sometimes hear from the middle of PA. Not to say everyone feels that way.

The funny is the large majority of those groups are in Eastern PA which is supposed to be the least racist part of the state lol.

I moved to the inland empire in California from Allentown and I can't wait to come home! Seriously, people in Pennsylvania hate Pennsylvania until they figure out other states aren't Pennsylvania. We're self loathing, but I find the people there are a lot more interesting and a lot bigger characters than people I've met out here. Try getting a hot dog with everything on it here or a half decent greasy Philly cheesesteak! It's impossible...ugh. I can't wait to come home!

Pennsylvania people are usually homebodies and don't often travel or integrate well out of the state,similar to the Amish culture

Is this the part where you pretend that SEPA and South Jersey are shockingly different from one another?
