Here’s mine Ohio. (Unfortunately) yeah, I know some people like this!!!
“Ohio is an incredibly average white guy, that’s not out of shape but not in good shape either. He has his sports hat on of his favorite Ohio sports team and is drinking good beer but nothing fancy. He has a family and works in an office. He can’t stop talking about how much he hates himself, but doesn’t leave due to his ties there, and would miss his friends if he left.”
I prefer Michigan, my “born and raised” state:
“Michigan is drinking some micro brew and playing Euchre while trying to conjure up nice things to say about Detroit.”
(and yeah, I can say nice things about Detroit!!!)
They got WA wrong. Western Washington is a Boeing engineer dude who just started his own winery in a garage space he’s rented north of Seattle in the hopes of striking it rich in the “new Napa.” He is sipping his wine from a fancy glass waiving at the folks driving to the car wash to stop by his garage and taste his wines. Eastern Washington is a grape growing dude who just unloaded his harvest to Western Washington and is celebrating by drinking Budweiser in a local watering hole while trash-talking Huskies.
Startlingly accurate. Actually, hell, this was EXACTLY Mr R and I in a bar in Indiana this past weekend. We were playing euchre with some of our friends, drinking micro brews, and talking to a famous singer’s manager about why we voluntarily stay in Michigan and near Detroit. Spooky.
Though I don’t need to “conjure up” nice things about my Detroit. Applicable to those outside of the immediate Detroit area though…
And good grief, why must people find fault in everything? It’s especially annoying when one does it as a way of making fun of the people who really do that.
The “most common” American in every state (except Hawaii) is white and straight.
Hmmm. …I should move to Michigan. We play euchre 2 to 3 times a week with our kids and their friends who we taught to play euchre, lots of 3 handed euchre too. I’m not a micro brew type but kids are.
Abasket we are coming over!
Pennsylvania doesn’t fit and New York needs two separate people ( one from the city and one from everywhere else),
However, the general tendency of white people to drink more alcohol than other racial/ethnic groups may mean that the typical bar-goer is more likely to be white than just based on population percentages.

Nailed it! They didn’t even come close with their comparison, in any way whatsoever, but you got it right.
“Both Western Washington and Eastern Washington came in with an umbrella, right? hehe”
Nope. Agree with Bunsen, neither own an umbrella. Too dry in Eastern WA to bother, and in Western WA if you have an umbrella, you probably lose it within a week. You have a good waterproof jacket. And fleece for when it’s dry.
Not quite. This guy needs to listen to more Garrison Keillor. Here’s my take:
Minnesota is a hulking, Nordic-looking guy in a flannel shirt, looking like he either just came in from the woods or is a hipster ironically posing as someone who just came in from the woods. He’s quietly sipping a Surley Furious but not telling anyone else how good it is because he’s afraid the price might go up. People think he’s a nice guy because he’s extremely polite on the surface, but he secretly thinks they’re all jerks, most of all his obnoxious brother-in-law North Dakota who won’t stop yammering about how North Dakota beat Minnesota again this year in college hockey, but he can’t tell him to bug off because he’s family, and anyway, it wouldn’t be polite. Mostly they only talk about four things–college hockey, pro hockey, high school hockey, and the weather. He scoffs when others tell him it’s too cold where he lives (which they do a lot); he thinks it builds character. North Dakota is the only one who understands, so at least he has that much going for him.
