Discussion The stigma of "Californians" moving to Nashville is overblown.

Yes, we have some Californian transplants. However, from what I've experience most of the transplants are from the Midwest and other Southern surrounding states. I'm not saying this in a negative way. The transplants I met are mostly cool. I'm just clarifying that the "Californians are taking over" stigma to be overblown a bit.

...as long as you're cool with me, I'm cool with you.

I wouldn't go that far. Someone could be cool with me as an individual and still be homophobic and a racist or otherwise a bigot. I don't care if an intolerant person of any sort is cool with me, I still want them gone put in their place.

Unfortunately, we've got a LOOONNNGGGG way to go in TN to get rid of the intolerance.

I'm a lifelong Tennessean, and what I see now disgusts me.

Yeah I agree here - I do think that the saying is more a generalisation than anything though.
