  • We heard it many times from Super Bowl visitors - how friendly people are here in Minnesota. By being helpful, we certainly lived up to our tradition of "Minnesota Nice." But that term doesn't always mean we welcome everyone into our homes with open arms. So, where did Minnesota Nice come from? (3:42)

    I agree with Mike. Additionally, it kind of makes Minnesotaans look small minded and not well traveled if they think that they are the only people that can be friendly, neighborly, and helpful. I’ve been here for 10 years, can’t wait to move.

    totally agree w/ Mike on the nice ice😆Lived here 30+years - I think the best advice I've read was " If you are moving to Minnesota bring your own friends "

      25% of European Minnesotans are descendants of Lousy Scandinavian Peasants and Germans that weren’t very fond of the Native American Indian particularly Dakota and not very fond of African Americans either, Minnesota has a Racist problem !

    I agree 💯 with the Scandinavian cultural description. As a person with 3 Swedish grandparents and one Norwegian I understand what they’re saying. I had a hard time growing up with my family’s cultural values around Italian Americans.

    • @fcrowson6480
      @fcrowson6480 Год назад +1

      Because Italians and most other Mediterranean cultures are more direct and to the point. Minnesotans are predominantly Scandinavian in origin. They don't believe in confronting the issue head on. Perhaps that's why you can't relate to Italian culture. Just saying. ✌
