I spent a week in Buffalo. I can see why people leave. The people are nice, but it astonished me how often people thought I hated black people, flew the Confederate flag, etc. They were surprised I was visiting museums and art galleries and was conversant with culture. It got tiresome.
Very, very liberal and with a very narrow view of the world.
My wife's side of the family (uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins) live in the Buffalo area.
OMG those people are retarded. Anyone who's not a liberal pro-abortion/homosexuality is OK Catholic is a Nazi to them.
Here's the rub: my wife's family escaped Hitler twice during WW2. First leaving Germany, then being chased out of Hungary after half the men were conscripted into the German army.
Yikes, I'd think they'd know better.
The people of Buffalo have decamped to Amherst, West Seneca, and Lancaster. They only say they like black people.
Northerners have a very negative view of southerners and they don’t hesitate to say it aloud. I’ve heard the following comments made to southerners and people who had moved south:
- “You must love the warm weather down there. And when you want culture you can come back for a visit.”
- “I suppose when you’re down there a while you’ll start hating blacks too.”
- “How can people down there wave that flag around. Don’t you realize it upsets people?”
- “ That college was ruined when they started admitting a lot of southerners. The southern kids couldn’t keep up academically. They didn’t have the background.”
I’ve heard every one of those comments. The last one was said with a straight face by a New Yorker to a (southern) Harvard post-doc. LOL He just sat there and I thought he was going to start laughing - but it didn’t. He was polite. I’m not sure she realized what she was saying.
