Each state has their own stereotypes that drive it’s residents absolutely crazy (I would know, I’m from Jersey)…Whether they are true or not it really doesn’t matter; people still associate these stereotypes with its respective state. Here are the worst stereotypes of each of the 50 states:
1. Arkansas
Outsiders, when they see an Arkansan indoors, think โWow, those people haveย houses?ย

Sorry, Arkansas, we just assumed you all hangย out in nature with a gun at your side and only emerge when you have to replenish your beer supply.
2. Hawaii
School uniforms can be a real drag, you know. Knee-length skirts, tucked-in shirts, and neatly polished shoes, all for the sake of a distraction-free environment.
Then, you come to a joyous realization and sigh in relief: At least Iโm not Hawaiian. The stereotype is that people there haveย to wear leis and grass skirts and coconut bras โ thatโs got to be tough. And Iโm too self-conscious for that mess.
3. Nevada
Hey, donโt look so guilty. Weโre all sinners in Las Vegas! Itโs the stateโs most precious resource.
In fact, Nevadans donโt even know what video games are. They are always giving slot machines just one last spin and creaming everyone at poker. Moreover, if you donโt graduate high school and become either a showgirl or a blackjack dealer, everyone will question what youโve done with your life.
4. Alabama
Pure, unfiltered Southern pride courses through every Alabamansโ veins. This is perhaps especially true when Crimson Tide seasons rolls around, where people get obsessive over supporting the University of Alabama football team.
From the looks of it, nobody gets off light for Roll Tide treason. You out yourself as a non-believer, and you pay the ultimate price. No, a wad of cash and several cases of beer wonโt do it. Youโd better hit the highway, branded a traitor, and show your fellow statesmen what youโve done!
5. California
ย Because the state is the home of the bustling entertainment hub known as Hollywood, we all assumeย that California is one large spotlit stage across which acclaimed actors and musicians strut.
Everyone passes Beyonce on the street on a regular basis and celebrities are everywhere. Also, itโs assumed that you have at least a dozen movie stars living on your street.
6. Alaska
As far as anyone is concerned, Alaska is just aย freaking cold place to be. Anyone who lives thereย is perpetuallyย wearing winter coats or just is crazy about the cold.ย
So how do all these snow people manage, we clueless outsiders wonder? Maybe, outsiders muse, Alaskansย hunker down in the heatless igloo and watch the Northern lights glow outside the window? Also, be sure youโre plenty strong enough to wrestle those wolves and bears for your dinner.
7. Colorado
Yup, you know it: Colorado is overrun with stoners who spend every night wolfing down Taco Bell and whole pizzas.ย
The stereotype is that everyone is high. Also, taste-test that pink-frosted and sprinkle-adorned brownie before giving it to your kid.
8. Connecticut
Ah, Connecticut: a clean, blue-skied haven for rich people.
Well, a haven outside New Haven, of course. Because everyone knows that anything that Yaleโs shadow fails to touch is scary-dangerous-no-good.
9. Delaware
What happens when you mention the state of Delaware outside Delaware? Suddenly, the snooze-zones in the Midwest can say smugly, โWhat is there for those poor people to do?โ
Either that or they looked puzzled before responding in their innocence: โDelaware? Whatโs a Delaware? Sounds like a clothing store in a rundown strip mall trying desperately to sound high-end and exclusive.โ
10. Florida
Whatโs not to love about the Sunshine State? When itโs not bathed in endless ethereal light, itโs raining. And the raindrops are shaped like Mickey Mouse or something, just to give tourists their moneyโs worth.
But most important: everybody knows how to fight off a big, bad gator. Even the retirees who escape experiencing the stateโs warmer climesย here. Gator-Fighting lessons come with the complimentary orange juice at the welcome center, right?
