Ain't no fucking way Indiana is in the "Nice" category
Bruh, I moved out here two years ago, and holy shit! These are the most miserable, hateful, rude, nasty, violent, stupid, lazy, and just all-around shitty people I have encountered in my life. Really, damn near everywhere I go in this state, I observe this behavior. I'm originally from Michigan, but I've been all over the US and really have not been anywhere like this.
Or Utah
My experience having lived across the US has been closer to https://youtu.be/u3qJlWQNNxA?si=EU_dgGLT-vWgmNXy - I haven't met a kind ("actually nice") person in Northern California who grew up there.
Edit to add: err, except my wife of course.
Who ever made this has never been to Minnesota. Or Iowa for that matter.
I get that this is basically a politcal compass meme overlayed on a map (and also that this is in cartography anarchy), but here's how I'd actually divide things up based on basically 0 practical experience:
Acts nice, is nice: West Coast (WA, OR, CA, HI) (WA might have to move down to the next category if they're feeling surly)
Acts mean, is nice: Northeast (ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, PA, NJ, MD, DE)
Acts nice, is mean: Southeast (AR, LA, KY, TN, MS, AL, WV, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL), Midwest (ND, SD, NE, KS, MN, IA, MO, WI, IL, MI, IN, OH), and Alaska
Acts mean, is mean: The rest (ID, MT, WY, NV, UT, CO, AZ, NM, OK, TX)
"Acts nice, is mean" still makes up a large part of the country, but "Acts mean, is mean" has been trending up for about a decade now.
Alaska belongs more in the "acts mean, is nice" category. But it's less "mean" and more "apathetic and disinterested."
And of course that only aims to divide things up into big blocks similar to the original image. If I wanted to get more granular I'd probably put UT in "Acts nice, is mean" for example.
Downvoted.
Act Nice between whites ans rich people dont count.
Silicon fucking valley ? Ask to latinos what they think ans where they are living...Im French BTW, and I can see that.
“The entire Midwest disliked that”
This map applies to every individual city as well, just make sure "acts mean is mean" is the rich quadrant of the city and the rest will map nicely.
PNW should be: acts nice, is scared
Quick context, if you ask for directions in Seattle, people will gladly help, but you will see the terror in their eyes that they have to socialize with someone they don't know.
