[Outtathere]

Short answer: because they are. Having been born in Kansas and grown up in Iowa and Illinois, and having just come home from an obligatory visit, I am realizing anew how much I hate the Midwest and why I left. Minneapolis, Chicago and Madison are exceptions (especially Madison), but the Midwest is by and large a region of boring, uncultured, incurious and intolerant – though seemingly friendly, at least if you’re white and American – idiots. They hate and fear anything unusual and different, and they take no pride in what makes them and their region unique. They are racists and bigots. They are too lazy to really think about things or to form their own opinions through experience. They get their news and views from USA Today, their food from fast food franchises, their household goods from Walmart, and if they have visitors, they’ll direct them to Hampton Inn and Motel 6 rather than to locally owned hotels.
