Hate and distrust of "outsiders" is a human trait that goes back to biblical times.
I've known some people from California. One, years ago, was the quintessential California surfer-girl and one of the first girls I thought I was in love with. Several Navy buddies from California and they were regular guys. Currently an old Navy friend and an old girlfriend in San Diego and they are good people too.
Believe it or not, there are homegrown azz wholes everywhere and there are immigrants from every state who make where they move to a better place.
Unfortunately for many, it's the idiots that tend go get and hold our attention. Also, many people just need to have someone to look down on or complain about.
