Former Floridian who've lived all over the country and couldn't agree with you more. It's not just it's in the South. Texans are far better and nicer than the average Floridian. There's something very, very wrong with that state. People there are so cynical and always assume the worst about everything. More often than not though, they are right.

As a native S. Floridian I just want to point out that most Floridians are from the NE. I'm an immigrant myself but in school half the population were Cuba and Haiti. Some were from Florida and the rest were from Brooklyn, Mass., upstate NY, and NJ. The kids from the NE, collectively, hated Florida, hated their parents, and wanted to move back.

Chances are you are meeting the adult version of the cynical kids I grew up with. Some of them tried to move back to NYC, Boston, NJ and found the neighbourhood had changed and no one remembered them or cared.
