Chavs are like New Jerseyites

I'm not from the northeast, either. Why do NYCers hate on the Jersey guys? As a corrolary, do people from the Bronx hate people from Manhattan who hate people from Brooklyn etc? Enlighten me.

I'm not from NYC although I did live with someone from Jersey for awhile.

Most of the stereotypes of people from jersey are generally true. I don't know, I guess most people would say that it's like rednecks of New England?

Pikeys...

as in gypsies from Snatch?

WTF? He asked what people on the East Coast have against people from NJ. Just because I wasn't in NYC, I spent a lot of time there, knew lots of people from NJ, lived in New York state, and lived on the east coast for quite awhile. I think I'm more than qualified to answer a question about what people have against people from NJ in general.

I can't make heads or tails out of almost any of this, but I've been entertained.

I'm kind of curious about what, exactly, the stereotypes of people from New Jersey are. I've lived in New Jersey my entire life and just about everyone I've ever known was well-educated, upper-middle class, and I don't get how that could be a negative stereotype.
