why do people from other states dislike Californians?
Forget the budget crises. We have Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the great redwoods, and agriculture.
I have been to Texas, Florida, and Ohio this year and everyone seems to be so hostile towards CA and it’s people.
Why do they dislike us when we produce their favorite movies, and most of their computers and software. Even Yahoo and Google are about 10 miles from my house (in California). Why all the resentment towards CA?

I’m an NYC resident I have so many friends from California.
That is stereotyping.

They’re jealous! Everyone would like to live here if they could. Beautiful climate, the ocean, wonderful diversity of culture, diversity of geography. Everything you want in one place.
Who’d want to live in some place that’s flat as far as the eye can see. No mountains, no ocean, 90% humidity all Summer? Florida at least has an ocean, and it’s considered a paradise on the East Coast. But compared to California it’s just hot and dull.

B/c no one wants to use our money to bail you guys out just b/c you were too generous, and don’t know how to say no. Besides, you don’t produce all our favorite movies. If you ask me Hollywood has gone stale, and it’s last great movies were in the ’80s. ’90s were okay, but now most are just crap (except Pixar movies).
We don’t hate you, we just hate the idea we have to bail your state out, possibly. You guys got yourselves into this, bail yourselves out. Since you produce our computers/software/movies, start taxing those 3 industries more to bring in more loot.

I know plenty of people from CA and they are SOOOO stuck up, materialistic, and weird… They’re just so Hollywood it’s annoying. OH! And the word ‘Hella’… I HATE HATE HATE it with a passion. Ironically, I KNOW I will be living in California in the future. Guess I should get used to it. I don’t have anything against the state though.
(And I’m speaking on MY experiences and interactions with people from Cali.)

k dats?!?! dats is not a word. use proper grammar! its that’s. sorry, to answer your question other states are envious of cali but want to be proud of where they live so talk smack!! also alot of people who have never live here in cali think that we are all stuck up and rich. not true. almost every time ive been to another state i get asked if i know or have met any celebrities… its americas fascination with pop culture and celeb gossip and how close we are to it all that make them envious towards us cali people.. oh and we come up with all things good,hip hop, ALL the latest fashion trends and concepts, chronic blunts and set the standard for nightlife all over the country.

i never heard of this. you wanna not like a certain type of people, try new yorkers. they are the rudest, most arrogant, obnoxious, and haughty individuals in the USA. and that’s not a stereotype, i live here. i’m not from NY by the way and for those of you from NY, you know it’s true, and if you tell me to get outta here, i’d answer you i am really trying hard to. can’t wait to save up enough money to get out of this dump.
Unfortunately, too many of us have come across a Californian who treats us like we are unevolved simians because we are not from California. You get the same thing with New Englanders as well. It stinks, but the bad attitudes of a few people can color the opinion of the whole bunch.
