What is wrong with them?
Why are they so shit?
niggers came and industry left
now we have nothing
Germans?
Too many of your kinfolk
Neoliberalism destroyed us. Ironically, we were once the heart of the labor/progressive/socialist movement.
>Michigan
>Shit
hahahaha WHAT. Hell, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Misconsin, Illinois, Ohio are based, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and those other 2 rectangles are passable.
But MICHIGAN is by far the greatest state of the entire union, in fact the entire WORLD. But I guess a UAE man doesn't see the use of plentiful abundant fresh water lakes. Have fun guzzling saltwater, chump.
>Ironically
Wtf is this "ironically"?
>Neoliberalism destroyed us.
Who is "us"? Who is "destroyed"? Are you in Kansas or Indiana right now?
Nice cherrypick, where do you live? Ontario?.
nigger nigger nigger XDDD!!!!
The country is literally the best region of the U.S
Very true
Detroit had a nice Black middle class before de-industrialization.
Yuck no don't compare the Quebec masterrace to filthy Torontonians
Every day I wake up so #BLESSED to be in the Great Lakes basin, not more than a few hours drive from Michigan Herself.
Meanwhile drooling Emirati chumps on Jow Forums have no the fuck clue. Its like how a literal pig can never comprehend fine art, these shitheads can never comprehend the beauty of H.O.M.E.S.
EXCUSE FUCKING ME???
YAAY NIGGER NIGGER ECKSEDEE DEE DEE!!
Underage reported
literally the whitest part of the country save for New England
Still does, bucko. You think every single family in Detroit is poor? Yeah most middle class families in Detroit moved the fuck out because Detroit's city govt can't get its shit together.
Yes, to be honest. I was under the impression that Detroit went:
Hipster/gentrified downtown > Hell on Earth ghetto > Rich suburbs
>GDP
>Not GDP (per capita)
en.wikipedia.org
North Dakota breaks the top 10 still.
>Hipster/gentrified downtown
Still mostly black, same as every other neighborhood I know of in Detroit. Even Palmer Woods is mostly black.
>Hell on Earth ghetto
Detroit has seen better times sure, but if you think all of Detroit looks like urban decayed mess then you are just wrong. "Hell on earth ghetto" what?
>Rich suburbs
Plenty of working class, middle class and poor suburbs too.
Only Kansas and maybe Ohio are solidly shit out of all those.
Not sure if I've been lied to or you're DIDF, to be desu.
>Implying I know what any of these states are
>Implying I wasn't just bored and decided I'd make a bait thread before sleep
jej. good night everyone.
when it comes to things happening in real life, the blurred lines reality is far more likely than the black and white reality people spin
The northern part is nice. The southern part of the region is trash though.
Everything in my post can easily be found online.
This is Detroit: And Downtown is mostly black. Palmer Woods is mostly black. Rosedale Park is mostly black.
Detroit neighborhood, 77% Black. Who the fuck told you about Detroit? "Muh urban ruins".com??
And it's trash.
Based. They should get rid of those racists somehow.
I'm not sure why you're going KARA BOGA on me, as I was implying Detroit's problems were economic and not racial.
You literally are saying flat out that all the people in Detroit are poor, and that all the better off people downtown are white. That is what you said, and its wrong, I'm not going """"""""kara boga""""""""""" for pointing out simple facts.
Why do whites in the south just call themselves American while others whites are LARPing as Italians, Germans or whatever ?
Also do the "French" in Louisiana actually speak French or do they just have a French last name that they can't even pronounce ?
>You literally are saying flat out that all the people in Detroit are poor, and that all the better off people downtown are white
Where did I literally say that, friend?
only illinois/ohio/michigan are shit. nebraska/iowa/minnesota have god tier quality of life.
A small number speak French. About 7%. iirc more have accents though.
Kansas is shit too
t. kansanon
The ones who say "American" on census forms are largely English and Ulster-Scots people who've been there for so long they either don't know or don't care about their ethnic origins. The parts of the backcountry like West Virginia are probably some of the oldest as in earliest to arrive of the non-Native Americans.
>michigan
outside of detroit its GOAT-tier
plus we have 23% of the worlds fresh (liquid) water within our borders
basically this American on the census means your relatives go back to the colonial era, before 1776
which usually means english and scotch-irish
in the south; they weren't dealing with immigrants from Europe en masse. The North East US got large waves of immigrants from Ireland, Italy, etc; who would form ethnic ghettos within big cities.
Some immigrant groups would try to assimilate more than others. When my great Grandparents came to the US, they didn't ever speak their native language in front of their children. They didn't think being bilingual would be an advantage; they only wanted their kids to speak English and think of themselves as Americans (they hated their native countries they fled from though).
Other immigrant groups saw assimilation as a defeat, as some sort of loss in the face of discrimination by Americans against their ethnic group; and they and wanted their children to think of themselves as hyphenated-Americans; or not as Americans at all.
that map REALLY needs wildfires added
because no immigrants go to the south (besides coast/New orleans), so they are just colonist families that have interbred for a few hundred years
those people's families have lived there since before america was even a country
even african americans dont want to live there
>implying michigan can get wildfires when youre never more than 3 miles from a lake or river
the map doesnt really change much
Minnesota’s fine and Illinois is passable. The rest are Appalachian rejects, whom are coastal rejects themselves.
Scandinavian heritage
St. Louis vs. Cleveland vs. Detroit
Which one is the worst big city in the Midwest?
>mfw my state had all but 3 counties that weren't "german"
>two of which were "norwegian", the other one "native indian"
even in 2000, everyone was pretty mixed ethnically and americanized. the old-world ethnic cultures were nothing like they used to be.
we still have all the ethnic fests (which are largely fine), but there's a somewhat higher dergree of "larping as foreign ancestors" than there should be (if you ask me).
the norwegians scattered throughout the countryside apparently put on a great syttende mai festival, though.. and i literally didn't realize how uncommon it is to have seen countless irish dance performances growing up in school until last year. that was totally normal for me.
however, i rrreeeee a little bit when i see stupid fucking ads begging you to visit, going on about beer gardens and "gemütlichkeit" everywhere you go. it's not anything like that here anymore lmfao.
this describes two of my grandparents lel
Western Nebraska is the promised land.
Tornado and earthquakes happen all up and down the east coast too, not as bad as other places, but they do happen
yea, technically tornados can happen at any point on earth
doesnt mean that they arnt concentrated somewhere
michigan is beautiful and a really nice state. the problem is that you guys sweep all your shit into hyper fucked areas. black people moved to detroit so white people got the fuck out and created super nice suburb cities. whats left is a hell hole with no taxpayer dollars to sustain it and an aggressive black population.
its kind of similar here in california with SF and oakland.
michigan is one of the nicest states if you pretend that the hyper poor areas just dont exist
This map also contradicts your other map though
how so
The most obnoxious heritage fags seem to always be Irish, Italians and Mexicans.
I don't recall many Americans talking about their English or French roots nearly as much.
>even african americans dont want to live there
But they're the biggest reason it's shitty.
Or do people think it's just a coincidence that the states they like to cite as being bad - MS, LA, AL, etc. - all just happen to be the ones that are over a third black? Let Vermont import a six-figure number of them and let's watch their education statistics plummet and their crime rate jump.
>what's wrong with the richest region
Excuse me?
Ohio:
No hurricanes
No tornadoes
No flooding
No wildfires
Temperate climate
Abundant fresh water
Clean air
Large STEM based economy
Three large cities, five mid size cities, or rural environments all available.
Leader in Bio-Med and IT.
Majority white population.
Gee, what a terrible place.
Somalians
>midwest
>closer to the east
