Both rich and poor. America's biggest mall is in Minnesota

It's a relatively well off place. Oil is big in North Dakota, and Minnesota and Wisconsin have varied economies, though agriculture is big in all three. There are also some fairly big population centers, namely the Twin Cities.
>>52928284
that's so cute
North Dakota: Oil, jobs, white people.
Minnesota: Good living standard, white people
Wisconsin: Good scenery, white people, good food

Flyover states that no one pays attention to.

Daily reminder if you live in these states, or anywhere else in the mid west, your life will amount to nothing more than your little shitty town.

Proving his point
>>52928851
Do you eat Lutfisk/Surströmming/Meatballs/pickled herring?
Do you have a Scandi name?
How often do you come across typical Scandi names in real life? (Eriksson, Gustavsson, Lundström, Franzén, Strömberg etc)
>>52928206
I went to a concert in Milwaukee last night
>>52928952
How though?
Like, that makes zero sense, what you just said there.
>>52928983
1. I have tried all of those things. Only meatballs are good.
2. Pic related.
3. -sson names are the most common, although usually one s is dropped because immigrants Anglicized their names to avoid discrimination. Thus, Eriksson became Ericson, Andersson became Anderson, Lundström drops the umlaut, etc.
>>52929007
Only Australians think Australians are funny
>>52929141
That's so cool I dunno why Euros on this board make fun of Americans if I was american of course I would want to know where I come from, ones heritage is everything. Yeah I did read that Anglos looked down on Scandinavian immigrants for some reason
>>52928983
Also I have a really old Swedish bible that my grandparents gave me, although I don't understand I word. I wish they had taught me.
>>52928206

There's even a slur for us. Most Scandinavians were poor farmer-laborers so Anglos saw them as they saw all lower class immigrant groups.
Thanks for being polite and sorry about all the "Swedes are cucks" shitposting my compatriots like to meme about.

This is completely wrong.
WV broke off of Virginia to leave the shithole South
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana are Midwest for sure. Maybe Iowa and Michigan are Midwest
There is no southwest in your shit image. Alaska and Hawaii are their own thing, too.
>>52929415
No, I grew up in the cities where our accents are more cosmopolitan. It's mainly older/rural folks who retain that Fargoesque Scandi accent.
>>52929463
Yeah Scandinavia might be high quality now but sure was shit back then, my granddad had 10 siblings, only him and his twin brother made it past the age of 10. No problem haha I don't really go on this board a lot nowadays. So your grandparents were bilingual?
>>52929482
This is probably the most accurate. Though the first one is somewhat true. The west has shit on common, as does the east, and New England and the rest of the Northeast share some similiaristies.
>>52929482
This is a much different map. Midwest, West, South, Southwest, and Northeast should be the only regions, as those are the general terms used. Your map may be right but South Carolina will still be called south, Oregon is west and so forth.
>>52929191
>>52929485
Okay?
Welp, I guess you'll both hate the Midwest for whatever arbitrary reasons and I can't convince you otherwise.
Just have the decency to not go stomping and shouting through threads about us, okay?
>>52929586
They were, but they never saw the value in teaching it to my parents or myself. First generation immigrants are the least proud of it, probably because they didn't want to be seen as having mixed loyalties and/or "running away from the homeland".
>>52929642

>>52929275
Not that guy but your reading comprehension is shit. Extreme minorities (<1%) are unlikely to be meaningfully disruptive to a society; you need ~5-10% for that to take place. And this is exactly what takes place in the cities of the region (and of course, in other cities more generally).
The countryside, meanwhile, especially the northern countryside as opposed to the south or appalachia, hews much more closely to the 99'er white metric even if not in literal terms, than in obvious ones relative to the city. Consequently, black stupidity is unusual relative to the cites.

He may be part of a cohort of not-bright teenagers; there is often a period around that part of life when all one wants is to be in the city, and this is common enough in the midwest as well - and frankly there is some justification to this. But it's only with age and experience that one can take the country all in all, and come to the sober conclusion that Midwest is best.
Now of course, since a simple majority live outside the midwest, it's obvious that I'm implying that the majority are stupid.

Really good beer, brats, and cheese. Most of the people here are descendants from Swedish/German immigrants from the late 19th century. And because the states are so rural and homely families and communities keep a lot of recipes and seldom change them. Hence the most authentic European food you can find in the states.

Craft singles isn't cheese. Here in Wisconsin we actually pride ourselves on making fresh, tasty, authentic cheeses that the entire United States enjoys. Sargento is pretty shit tier here. We got tons of local farms that make their own cheese.
