Aren't you from Iowa? lol. Talk about an inferiority complex. But to the OP, I agree. I came to NY to get away from these brute assholes from HS in these towns, hate seeing these people in the city.

+1..

good people are everywhere.. and so are douchbags like community who somehow feel only people like them are entitled to live in nyc and everyone else must keep out... isn't that the same fundamentals as racism? (i.e. we are better than them so they must keep out of wherever I want to live)

The problem is that people suck in general. Sure New Yorkers might avoid some undesirable behaviors that hicks have but they adopt new ones that aren't radically better. No need to discriminate, everyone sucks.

Yup. Human beings are the most wretched creatures on Earth.

OP, move back to Hong Kong where everything is perfect

New York is great in its own way for a ton of obvious reasons, but to hate on people who are not from there or choose not to live there is absurd. Many people seek to establish themselves in the city but never want to live in NYC forever. Snooty 6s with overblown egos, shanty apartments, armies of disease carrying roaches, subway rats, destitute homelessness, copious pollution, and frozen traffic jams can get old. By the way, you can't claim to be cultured and bash all of "Middle America" as if nothing of historical or cultural significance exists outside of NYC. You're just as backwards as any swamp person who refuses to leave the Florida marsh.

^This. Racism should never be tolerated, but don't hate people for where they're from or because they didn't have the same opportunities NYC provided you growing up.

HOWEVER if that person happens to "support their lifestyle" off their fashion blog (or food blog etc.) that they started when they moved here 3 months ago "because this city is just SO INSPIRING! (from what I've seen between 14th and 42nd streets)"...then hate, my friend. Hate with all the bitterness being born in this wretched hell hole has bestowed upon you.
