I've lived in Chicago and Pittsburgh so I think I'm qualified to weigh in here.<br /><br />First of all you're right in your general assessment of my fellow Minnesotans. The people here really aren't truly welcoming to people they consider outsiders and do hide their true feelings under a veneer of Minnesota Nice. The conversation you and I had a little while back about the veiled racism comes to mind. No one there would ever admit it, but I heard plenty of it behind closed doors growing up in Montevideo. Since I've lived elsewhere, I have been able to notice the differences between Minnesota and "the rest of America" as you put it. I blame it on our Scandinavian ancestors. Hard headed and stubborn to the point that they would go to their graves without ever speaking their minds about things that really matter to them.<br /><br />Don't even get me started on the whole Swedes vs Norwegians thing. That just adds to the weirdness of this place.<br /><br />By the way, THIS Minnesotan is using the anonymous feature but adding his name:<br /><br />Stephen - in case you couldn't figure it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
