I have been back in Minneapolis for 2 years after 10 years in Kansas City. Of I did not like Kansas City at first because of readjustment issues but from the very start I thought the citizens were A LOT more friendlier then in Minneapolis. It is very true that Minnesotan even if orginally born here or transplants, from other neightboring cities like Chicago or Madison or other countries and continents are very a loft bunch of people. Minneapolis/St. Paul people are reasonablily culturally diverse for a mid-western state, maybe the reason it is still democrate most of the time.
I must be conscience on a daily bases that these Minnesotans are very Minnesota nice, but at the same time can be back stabbing rude this has always been the personality of the average Minnesotan. WHat is different since grow up here is the amount of people who flash their wealth the best they can. This is not common behavior ten years when growing up here. Minnesotan are tradionally modest and would be embrassed of being too rich shopping at thieft stores was the cool thing to do. My best estimation is not only has there been a wave of immgrates from neighboring states, countries, and continents but also a wave of immgrate Republicans as well.
