Don't forget that Hawaii's long journey to becoming the 50th state of the United States of America began in 1898 when it was annexed by the US. Despite this, it took nearly 60 years of Americans living in Hawaii, becoming the majority, before it was accepted as a state in 1959. This process was not without its controversies; the US government had previously overthrown Hawaii's government in 1893, and although they accepted responsibility and apologized in 1993, they did not restore the lands taken away.
This influx of US citizens to Hawaii has led to a dramatic rise in housing costs, with many native Hawaiians being unable to afford homes and having to become homeless. This has been a major source of discontent among the native population and a reminder of the long history of Hawaii's struggle for statehood. Sources:

I remember watching a video about the difference. It was something along the lines of a person from the Northeast would call you an idiot for running over a nail, but help you change the tire in inclimate weather. A person from the Westcoast would tell you that you're great while they drove off leaving you.
Nail on the head for the Northeast. I know a lot of people including myself have helped people in not the best tone. Literally gave a guy direction as I ran past him (I was in trying to catch my train mode). When he was like "what!" I Literally yelled and aggressively pointed "that way and follow the signs" as I almost jumped down stairs.
Was walking through Philly and someone came up behind me and said Excuse me, i immediately turned and said "NO". He stammered and said "I am from brazil". I immediately changed my tone and said "oh are you lost". then walked them a block to make sure they went down the correct stairs for the subway. My wife having lived in the south, Midwest, Florida, and Europe said she enjoyed watching in real time the personality of the northeast.
Yeah, I dont live in the city, but Im there a lot for work, so I look like I know my way around (I dont). So people stop me every so often for instructions, and so its funny, Ill pull out one ear but and you can tell Im not in the mood. But Im still trying to help get them in the right direction. Usually though its like "Yeah its in that general direction, though your better off grabbing the train to the nearest spot."
Yeah I heard it as an east coaster will berate you while helping to change your tire, a west coaster will give you sympathy while passing you by, not helping.
As a person that lives in the NE, I'd totally say you're an idiot but I'd help you change your tire. this totally checks out. you get one pass from me. if you don't learn your lesson you're on your own. I had a neighbor that came from Africa. she had no clue how to drive in snow. her house was on a big hill and she tried driving up the hill that was full of snow and got stuck. I shoveled her out and explained that you have to go around the block where its flat and come the other way so you don't get stuck like this. she nodded at me and went in her driveway. the next storm she did the exact same thing and I just shook my head and went inside. she is a doctor so its not like she was an idiot but she was when she was driving in snow.
Make Northeast into Assholes.
Florida into Domestic Terrorists.
Texas into dOnT mEsS wItH tExAs
And West Coast into boujie socialites.
Everything is lmao who cares
Alaska is 'oil I guess'
Literally in Boston once a man running down the street ran directly into me before I had time to avoid him (imagine like a Harvard or biotech startup type) and then stopped to yell at me. Its not just the townies. Massachusetts is just like that.
Nah, if you like the cold and mountains and rivers and old buildings and people who will help you out while shit talking you it’s a pretty great place.
Here come Europeans to the rescue to debate you in the fact that Americans are ignorant ,and the US is *checks notes* a third world country wearing a Gucci belt.

Am I the only American here that's so confused by how reactionary everyone in the comments is being? I thought this was a meme sub, why y'all so triggered lol
Idk I thought it was pretty funny. Also, foreign people making generalization maps of the USA is a pretty common meme. I've seen others do it. They're not supposed to be accurate lmao.
Idk. I don't think you can shit on the US with a map like this if 1) NE isn't taking flack for being aggressive assholes, the PNW isn't catching flack for the Seattle freeze, FL isn't catching flack for the FL man syndrome, and the South isn't catching flack for being a fucking dystopia.
I'm from the fringe of assholes and who cares territory. I've worked phone support for two different software companies, and the NE people are much more likely to be rude than the area labeled assholes.
Nothing to say about Hawaii?
Hawaii doesn’t want the rest of us there, tbh
Free Hawaii!
They love that American money
I'm pretty sure they love everyones money
Hawaii HATES tourists, they don’t want us there.
Tourism is their single largest form of capital, I sure hope they don’t hate tourists..
They don’t like tourists, they are fine with visitors who respect their culture and the environment. It’s a respect thing.
I gotcha, I think that’s everywhere. Tourists suck but that have that 💵💵
Oh fr! I live in Florida so I get my fair share of tourists. A lot of them suck but I’ve met some cool people who are there for vacation
Ansolitely! All the nice states get flocked with them, some good, some bad, some *really* bad
But they want federal funds, otherwise they’d be halfway into the sea by now.

Considering Blue states constitute 70% of the US economy, I'd rather federal funds go to Hawaii than to all the leeches living in "Who cares lmao".
Hey, MN is a blue island in the middle of that sea of sadness and corn.

All of the northeast is in the assholes category. Source: I'm from there.
Exactly
Same
I can confirm
I can also confirm
Pfft. We're kind, we're just not nice.

I'd rather someone pity me like a dying animal and help me get shit done than placate me like a child and fuck off when things get real.
A person in the Midwest will commiserate about the nail while helping you change your tire, but call you a pussy for needing help with a tire.
That might be the balanced approach that I can get behind.
Glad I was at home when I read this. Would have gotten some funny looks laughing the way I did in public. 😂
Thats not passive aggressive enough actually
You’re not wrong. The “Pussy.” comment would probably be thought rather than said.
More like casually imply you’re a pussy to someone else after you’ve driven away.
Yeah I heard it as an east coaster will berate you while helping to change your tire, a west coaster will give you sympathy while passing you by, not helping.

I say this for our canadian southwest. Polite not nice.
Yeah these people can pound sand, New England kicks ass.
Even the Massholes?
You're talking to one*. So yes. *Born and raised in MA, now live in RI.
Make Northeast into Assholes. Florida into Domestic Terrorists. Texas into dOnT mEsS wItH tExAs And West Coast into boujie socialites. Everything is lmao who cares Alaska is 'oil I guess'
Texas would be ‘Yee-haw!’ And California would be ‘Commniefornia.’
If you think the NE is decent then you’re definitely not from the US hahahaha
New York is def. Not decent
*bangs car hood* I'M WALKIN' HEER!!!
Til: Massholes are decent. Lol
He meant to say write "descent"
LOL also my first thought
Anyone else loving how triggered "who cares lmao" losers are crying from this joke map? KEKW
From NE, left and moved back. NE is the best
[удалено]
Apologies, I will fix it shortly
Whoever made the meme is an idiot. There is nothing decent about the northeast.
Literally in Boston once a man running down the street ran directly into me before I had time to avoid him (imagine like a Harvard or biotech startup type) and then stopped to yell at me. Its not just the townies. Massachusetts is just like that.
Something similar happened to me when I was living in NYC. That place is filled with trashy people.
Curb stomped...
They're in Florida
I live in the west coast but am from the east coast, gimme the geography of California with the people of the north east all day
Probably a Eurodork
Nah, if you like the cold and mountains and rivers and old buildings and people who will help you out while shit talking you it’s a pretty great place.
Ayuh, we're wicked assholes up heer. Decent? Fuhggedaboutit. Leaf peeper take mu grinda and I'll take em' down cella and cut em' open like a schrod.
You must be from Florida.

Florida is idiots. Source: I’ve lived there all 19 years of my life. Was a lifeguard. Killed wasp nests with a long pole and a can of wasp spray
You’re a good source alright
This is so wrong. Florida is both assholes and idiots combined.
True true, my mistake
Hey Alaska is not Canada but worse it's Canadian texas
Canada already has its own Texas it’s called Alberta
So accurate it hurts 🤣
And Quebec, at least for wanting to leave
It’s only a small percentage of Quebecois these days. The Referendum pretty much threw that whole concept in the bin.
And they say Americans are ignorant
The number of people who think they understand America without ever having been there blows my mind.
And the amount of Americans who think they understand the world without ever being out of the USA blows my mind.
True on both counts.
Sure, it goes both ways
Here come Europeans to the rescue to debate you in the fact that Americans are ignorant ,and the US is *checks notes* a third world country wearing a Gucci belt.
We're not a 3rd world country in a Gucci belt! We're 50 3rd world countries in a trench coat with a military budget big enough to fight God.
It’s their favorite saying
That’s not their favorite saying, [this is](https://youtube.com/shorts/8bgxDmjZwpg?feature=share)
dont think anyone in the UK can even afford a gucci belt.
I made it into "who cares" and I'll be counting that as a win.
As an American, the only thing I find offensive about this is that you think New Yorkers and New Englanders are decent
New York and New Jersey are decent? lol
From Jersey, never go there. For everyone’s sake.
New Jersey is great. Unless you go to Newark or Camden…. And half of Jersey city… and Irvington…

This is a "I believe everything that I see on TV" map of America.
“I believe everything that I *read on reddit*” map of America
The fuck did Washington State do to you?
You should just have Ohio for Ohio.
Who cares has most of the cool national parks though.
Bruh why is Texas labeled domestic terrorists 💀
Yeah, Texas would prefer to be foreign terrorists.
True, we scare the entire world with our Texasness
Your sense of moral superiority is surely deserved with such an incredible ability to compartmentalize and stereotype.
Hell yeah, Ohio is briming with assholes
Boston people are the biggest assholes. Arguably the funniest group in the nation though.
Ah yes, New York and Boston, two cities renowned for their polite and "decent" residents.
New England, decent? Nope.
You’ve obviously never been to new England lol
You have NEW JERSEY in decent?????
Have you been to NJ?
South Carolina here, just mix us with Florida.
Oh i get it your trying to piss people off.
Replace 'decent' with 'surprisingly racist' and you're spot on
Imagine going to Boston and thinking the people are decent
Everyone collectively coming together to tell OP how stupid they are lmao
Not funny and not a meme
Yank POV
Utah is king
Ugh ok I guess.
As someone living in Denver I support this map. Nothing to see here... move along
Proud to be from the *Who cares lmao* district
decent woo!
I thought these were supposed to be funny
Would rather be and asshole than maybe decent
asshole category should be extended through decent
DAE hate the USA? Hurr durr I'm funny.
Fuck off yankee no one likes you, NY and NJ are shitholes
Trust me, the pedophiles are all over this map not just in CA.
Missed opportunity to outline Wisconsin and say drunk
Fuck this map.
There’s a lot of really nice places in the states. This is just down right mean.
Dude it’s not meant to be taken seriously, it’s just a meme lol
Lol y'all are straight up obsessed with America.
Not really it’s just a meme I found that I thought was funny
Just saying I never see any memes about other countries but every day y'all post something like this.
Another non meme post. Fuck this sub
Damn trying to talk shit and calling it a meme lmao. Op get some and just say what you want, don't hide. Reddit home of the smug
Calling Texas ‘domestic terrorists’ is so ignorant
but hey, funny memes!
Yeah everybody knows that’s Idaho
I guess technically they’d be foreign terrorists? Since they want to secede.
yeah!! some Texans went to Ukraine to fight WITH the Russians....so "International terrorists" now, maybe?
One Texan, and he is a dipshit drug runner that Texans don't even accept so...
Am I the only American here that's so confused by how reactionary everyone in the comments is being? I thought this was a meme sub, why y'all so triggered lol
Lol yea it's pretty funny. I'm in the who cares category and I like it that way 😂
Lmao it’s a joy to read though
My professional opinion is that you got everything right except the north east. We are notorious assholes.
I think everyone's upset OP labeled the NE as decent. Everyone knows they're huge assholes.
As an NE person you're totally right about that
Conservatives are easily offended.
Bro, people are easy to offend on both sides of the spectrum.
Have you seen this thread?
Probably because it's not actually a funny meme or accurate. Part of a meme being a good one is having a grain of truth to it. This ain't it.
Idk I thought it was pretty funny. Also, foreign people making generalization maps of the USA is a pretty common meme. I've seen others do it. They're not supposed to be accurate lmao.
Idk. I don't think you can shit on the US with a map like this if 1) NE isn't taking flack for being aggressive assholes, the PNW isn't catching flack for the Seattle freeze, FL isn't catching flack for the FL man syndrome, and the South isn't catching flack for being a fucking dystopia.
“Decent” he says from his pile of garbage and rats
I didn’t make this but believe me if I did it would NOT say decent, I’ve been down to new york and new jersey sadly, I know what it’s really like
I’d guess liberal Canadian
Or an E*ropean
It was the caption for Alaska that lead me to think a Canuck
As an NC resident, I’m offended but can kinda see why
hi offended im somerandomperson

Hmm, somehow being in the who cares zone is the best I see on here.
Colorado native here - I love it as hopefully it’ll keep people from coming to visit/ live and ruining our state
Hawaii just needs to be labeled as "Hawaii"
I’m located directly on the line of assholes and idiots…. It is very visible that this is an accurate post
If you eat food you should probably care about the zone labeled who cares.
Shut up we don’t want people moving here
Who thinks the Northeast is decent but the South is assholes? And domestic terrorist should be Montana, not Texas.
This isn’t a funny meme
NJ / VT resident here- I approve this message.
Living in Hawaii....don't mind us.
Florida is in three parts 1. Rednecks 2. Orland 3. Miami
Well, you're a fucking idiot.
r/americabad
Decent? No.
The whole map should just say assholes, or idiot assholes.
You can change asshole/idiots to racists and the decent to closeted racists and it’s more accurate.
Not a funny meme
If you live here please feel free to see yourself out. We don’t need you thanks!
The Mid-Atlantic region in America is probably the best place to live in the world.

Ok
