Livin' Life Through the Lens

The UP isn't dumb.

Stereotype: a commonly held public belief about specific social groups, or types of individuals.

Just because the "typical" Yooper doesn't venture out of the UP very often to a big city does not mean that they are dumb. Just because a business or a doctor is located in the UP does not mean that they are incompetent at what they do. They have gone through schooling and training just the same as any other doctor or business person. Location does not determine intelligence. I wish people would understand that and stop judging.

Samus.
