^ I’m actually kidding, garland. (Sort of.) Having gone to college with the NY crowd myself, and being very much an outsider as an “upstater” (well, not even an upstater, since I wasn’t from Westchester - I think they thought I was a farm kid lol), I still remember the overall scorn many kids felt for virtually any place outside NY metro. You can see it here on CC constantly - there is almost no region of the country that isn’t “cornfields.” Of course it’s a generalization - but in too many cases it is palpable - and when I read stories like this I recall vividly the “self segregation” at college.
