Minnesota nice

Minnesota nice is the stereotypical behavior of people born and raised in Minnesota to be courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered. The cultural characteristics of Minnesota nice include a polite friendliness, an aversion to confrontation, a tendency toward understatement, a disinclination to make a fuss or stand out, emotional restraint, and self-deprecation. Critics have pointed out negative qualities, such as passive aggressiveness and resistance to personal change. That resistance at an individual level can be ironic as the state is a leader in social progressiveness. 〔 The positive traits of civic mindedness and social tolerance are also generally applicable to neighboring Canadians.
== Social norms ==
Playwright and corporate communications consultant Syl Jones suggested that ''Minnesota nice'' is not entirely about being "nice" but is more about keeping up appearances, maintaining the social order, and keeping people in their place. He relates these social norms to the literary work of Danish-Norwegian novelist Aksel Sandemose, Jante Law, and more generally, Scandinavian culture. Garrison Keillor's ''A Prairie Home Companion'' discusses "Wobegonics", the supposed language of Minnesotans which includes "no confrontational verbs or statements of strong personal preference".〔("Wobegonics" on ''A Prairie Home Companion'', Saturday, April 19, 1997 ) Retrieved December 14, 2009.〕
