Guys I did some research so we aren't just throwing out tired old stereo types of our friends from WV. Spoiler alert it goes along the same lines as with us and KU...
They claim to have succeeded from Virginia because they didn't want slaves, apparently they didn't want blacks in their state (3.5% of population is black, 94% white)
They all claim to be richer than us but their median household income is $10,100 less than ours and they have 5% more living in poverty than we do. If we could get the KU grads to move out of the state the gap would be more.
We have $1,000,000 more people in our state than theirs.
We have 89% of people graduating high school, they have 82%. They have 17% with a bachelors degree, we have 29%...
We are the richer, smarter and more diverse of the two... these aren't tired old sterotypes, they are facts.. mind blowing.
