Stereotypes are part truth, and part ignorance about that particular culture. Like how people say the British have bad teeth, some do, some don't. Or how all New Yorkers are rude, some are, some aren't. I think Minnesota got pretty lucky in the stereotype area. Most of ours are just quirky.

I don't mind if people think my accent is weird or funny, I just don't get what the big deal is. It's an accent! That's it. It doesn't have anything to do with who I am as a person.

@starlightx20 right on!

I live in Arizona and lots of people from Minnesota own homes out here, and come down to escape the cold. Native Minnesotans DO have accents, not Canadian accents, but a pretty distinct accent nontheless (you personally have a light accent). I haven't ever heard the other stereotypes though. I've never heard the cottage cheese one and I didn't even know what hotdish was until I looked it up and read that is was very popular in the midwest which may cause the assumption that you all like it.

@OrchidTheGreat good points

[IAmRiddikulus]

You know...I'm from Minnesota...I have an accent. It may not be really obvious but most Minnesotans have one. Not like a really serious one...but let's just face it. We totally do.

@IAmRiddikulus i agree, i say "house" kinda wierd

I live in northern Minn. 20 miles from Canadian border. First of all, cold as shit. Second of all, we r only nice to people who r nice to us. If ur not nice to us, we will drop u mofos with our deer hunting rifles. No one will know what the hell happened until its all over. At least ur death will be fast and almost painless (if it were painless it would be no fun).

1) I do have an accent and I from the inner city

2) we are nicer than most, especially when you go up north, everyone says hello to each other. Even if you don't know someone, if you make eye contact you say hello and if you're on the lake you wave whenever you pass someone.

3) I LOVE HOCKEY

4) Cottage cheese and Hot dish are amazing

Case and point: The stereotype is there for a reason

[alexmauer96]

yes we have accents. MOST of us love hockey, dont say 'eh', like our hotdishes, love the cold, and 20%, bro your math is off there is about 5.5 million people in the state of Minnesota. Thats 1.1 million people.

[kelseyzeee]

Most Canadians don't talk like that, though.

[bLuEp00tzie]

PREECH. Oh my goodness. AGREED.

[BrianDiCaprio]

i don't mind stereotypes at all.
