Why do so many Oregonians on here hate Californians?

Stereotypical Oregonians think all Californians are stereotypical valley girls regardless of gender, basically.

Personally I do my best to not perpetuate the "Californians go home" stereotype of Oregonians, but I know where people are coming from. Most (almost all) of the Californians I know are swell people though.

But there's one guy who fits the bill of the Californian stereotype perfectly. This one guy and I understood what people in this sub and other Oregon subs have been talking about. This freaking guy. I can't get enough of him.

  • "Why does it rain all the time? It's hardly ever sunny. In San Diego it's sunny even in the winter."

  • "It's so small here. There's nothing to do here. This place is so boring. I can't even go paintballing." (I tell him a local paintball place, 15 minutes away) "How am I supposed to get there? I don't have a car." (tell him to carpool or bike) "It'll probably suck anyway. Won't be anything like the place I used to go to."

  • "Why is everyone a homebody around here? There's no nightlife." (tell him this is a residential neighborhood; the nightlife is a few miles away) "Yeah but all the buildings are short. It won't be any fun."

  • "You guys should come to San Diego. There are hot girls everywhere. You'll like it so much more than here."

  • "We're not even close to the beach! Where am I supposed to ride my longboard?"

  • "Is everyone poor here? I see a bunch of people wearing generic brands every day like that's normal or something."

  • "Wait, so Thai people are from Thailand, not Taiwan?"

  • "If fish drink water, wouldn't the level of the ocean go down?"

  • "This food's pretty killer. Oh, that's slang for like, 'awesome.'"
