What states "hate" other states (Indiana, Alabama, Massachusetts)

[michiganmoon]

Highly unscientific poll, but fun results.

Many states hate other states based simply on sport rivalries like Michigan and Ohio. Some is certainly driven by tourists and politics.

Most hated state? California.

Besides California, these states are also heavily hated: New York, Texas, Massachusetts, Alabama, and Florida.

Florida is the only state that had the biggest response hating itself. Yes, Florida hates Florida.

New Jersey hates everyone.

The whole western third of the contiguous 48 states minus California hates California.


*keep in mind the votes are split between 50 options so it doesn't take a lot to win a state per se.

I live in Michigan and there is a lot of anti-Ohio stuff, but they have some cool things in their state. In south west Michigan lots of anti Indiana and Illinois hate from the tourists and vacation home owners. I know Yoopers that despise Wisconsin. But it is certainly Ohio overall.

Depends on how you define the "hatred". Weighted by capita it is New Jersey, followed by Texas at number two.

Especially for a place as humid as Texas or Phoenix. Especially Arizona.

Too much good food, things to do and natural scenery despite our wacky ass politics and issues.

AZ isn't generally noted for its humidity...

Why does South Carolina hate Ohio?

I had a roommate from Wisconsin who used the term “FIBs” to describe tourists from Illinois, particularly Chicago.

The anti California thing is one of this country’s stupidest phenomena and 90% of the time from what I can tell, the hater has never set foot in California. That’s a big thing here in Arizona. And Arizonans are the last people who should be talking about the wacky politics in another state.

Southwest Michigan uses the term FIPs and FISH for Illinois and Indiana folk.

The term is applied to all IL residents and nobody actually *hates* other states without having a screw or two loose.

Finding them annoying, sports rivalries etc. are common even within states but hating an entire state is just a reflection upon the hater having their own issues.
