"average" New Yorkers



I know you realize that New York is a large state not just the City

Maybe the "average Manhattanite" is the better way to put it

It just gets annoying that southerners lump everyone from the North in that group

Almost like lumping everyone in 8 or so states under the term “southerner” and describing a behavior you attribute to this fictional persona..

Of course, and I do mean the entire state but really more intended the region as a whole. And I do understand that concept you mention about the prevalence of folks merely considering the city, as opposed to understanding the full diversity of the area. The same phenomenon occurs with Louisiana, the thought of New Orleans being applied to the entire state. Hell within our own state we have a bit of an issue with the southern half perhaps thinking a touch less of the northern half, so that causes a bit of jading on the entire concept.

I will revise my prior comments to be more directed at the metropolitan areas of the northeast. I bet there are pockets of rednecks in upstate NY, lol. Definitely so in Jersey.

Yeah, collective statements suck.
