This is just “ Minnesota nice”. Cultural expectations of politeness are not really correlated with any specific ethics. As to the downvotes, you are inadvertently opening a can of political worms around competing values of the coasts and the Midwest.
- matthewdgreen 3y agoIt is also possible that Iowa has changed; certainly the voting patterns of the state have. I'm not looking for a flame war: I am curious if people who know the state better have things to say about what's going on there, because that would be much more interesting than every other comment in this thread right now.
- SauciestGNU 3y agoMy honest opinion? Iowa was creepily lacking in any visible diversity. People were polite, but I was traveling through as a straight white married couple. Nebraska, on the other hand, felt outright hostile. Edit to add, I also know someone who teaches at a university in Iowa and they love it because of the prairie biodiversity.
