Stereotypes

   Living in a state like New York, people seem to only think that you are automatically from New York City (Clark S., 2012). Having Moved to North Carolina from New York, people always assumed that’s where I am from. There are plenty of other places besides that city that exist in the state of New York; places like Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Ithaca, Binghamton, Cortland and, yes, even Berkshire (Clark S., 2012). People should not just assume that people from NY are from the city. It is important for others to become aware that there are other places besides major cities in any states. 

This is a web map of New York State. As you can see, there are a lot of place in the state of New York, besides New York City. (Planet Ware, 2012)
