But Ms. North Carolina is not smart. She's hot and dumb as shit, those things are expected. The girl I was talking to, actually she was a woman in her mid-20s, was obviously smart. You don't make thru med school if you aren't smart. But obviously she was too busy to worry about anything west of Jersey, much less west of Chicago. She probably knows California is over there somewhere.
And obviously I'm generalizing. It's not a matter of being smart it's just a matter of giving a shit about what else is there. Many people who live on the East Coast never leave nor do any of their relatives so they just don't worry about it. I'm not talking about stupid people cause they are everywhere, I'm just talking about the so called "east coast bias" that everyone talks about.
