I have NEVER heard anyone here say "Strong Island", that also sounds really stupid as well. "Wealthy people living in actual homes, a lot of Italians and Russians." yes i am italian, doesnt mean anything. and I'm not wealthy nor am i poor. " A lot of the girls there are loud and spoiled. Here in UB, Long Island girls have quite a rep."...all i can say is... HAHAHAHA no.

Some sterotypes haven't changed much from my college daze!

My neighbor is from Suffolk County. He really looks down on those from Nassau County; says they're to blame for the "Strong Island" stereotype.

This uninformed Upstater's perspective on NYC regional stereotypes:

* Westchester County: upper middle income WASP except for Yonkers and New Rochelle.
* Rockland/Orange Counties: Orthodox Jewish shetls.
* Connecticut: very, very wealthy, except Bridgeport.
* Nassau County: Guidos, more assimilated Italian-Americans, well-off Jews. Great Neck is ground zero for the stereotypical Jewish princess. More new money.
* Suffolk County: WASP.
* New Jersey: Guidos, Portuguese, Indians.

The Long Island stereotypes are garbage, as with all stereotypes. Go to the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City and you will see a lot more than "guidos, italian americans, and well off jews". LI, Nassau especially, is starting to look a lot more like Queens.

I would imagine that a Long Island State would have the Hamptons join Massachussets?
