Like Illinois is different, or Michigan, or New Jersey... As an outsider, I haven't found any of that to be the case here in Minnesota. Your mileage may vary. (I'm totally acing this test!)

Minnesotans are smug. They seem to have an inflated view of themselves. Most of the people who live in the "big city" are from a farming community or small town from the out state Iowa or the Dakotas that think they have somehow arrived. Most of the people who grew up here do have a group of friends and family that they interact with and do not want take the time to meet other people, time is limited so why bother. Most of us that grew up here are for the most part educated and that probably contributes to our collective arrogance. We pretend to be so "diverse" but many people just want to say they have a minority friend to all of their white friends. We will be nice to your face but will completely cut you down behind your back. we are fat. If you like fat people move to Minnesota the winters are brutal on the ass and gut we try in the spring to walk,their is this moronic walk women do in these sweat pants that are to small. Politically we have very canned liberals and conservatives. Liberals have diverse friends, bike and pretend they are not complete hypocrites. Conservatives go to church every Sunday work at one of our fortune 500 companies and pretend that they are not arrogant. Finally kids are all that matters to many of the residents, if it is for the kids then it is good. People with the little ones actually believe that their kids are above average and are entitled to anything. good luck with it. Minnesota was once summed up by a professor that grew up in Chicago.
