Stereotypes of the state/city or country you live in?

This may not get very wild in terms of debate but I live in Appalachia and some stereotypes here are that we are all poor, racist, homophobes. This is a poor area and this area has been voted one of the worst in the country for drug addiction but it isn't as bad as people make it look. Also, there are racist, homophobes, but most of us aren't. I would love for you to share yours.
