Where's the beef?

The fact that we are having this "debate" might appear silly or even amusing at first, but it's more pathetic than anything else. What both sides fail to realize is that they are guilty of the same irrational, absurd prejudice toward another group. With all the hate in the world stemming from differences in class, gender, sexual orientation and race, do Americans really need to include geographical origin as yet another means to typecast and divide ourselves? There is no East Coast vs. Midwest problem on campus. IU is home to all kinds of people from every state. The problem here is that such a student body will sadly always contain both those from Indiana and elsewhere who are too immature to get along.
