I live in California, was born in California, and just yesterday, people claiming to live in New York, but having "come from" Kenya and Israel, knocked on my door and in the course of our conversation, demanded to know where I was "from".

Edit: I guess people don't like reading descriptions of fact?

People from every where seem to exhibit the behavior; I don't think it is specific to California and I'm not sure that it occurs more in California than any where else.
