Is it me or are Californians seen as conceided ?

I am a Californian born and raised in So. Cal Everywhere I go people wan't to know how it is over there and If I am Rich??. I drive a Luxury Type of SUV (MBenz) which is very common in So.Cal, but Rich? maybe elsewhere, but in California this is normal. True I have yet to see communities like Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Aliso Viejo, Santa Barbara, La Jolla or Mission Bay anywhere else in this country. Maryland has pretty decent communities but it lacks taste and good weather and vibe. But anywhere you go it seems Californians are seen as conceided, snobs and pushovers and many people ask why I have decided to visit their town??.like there nothing here for you to see! You are definetly treated as a foreigner in your own country, if you are a Californian. A Proud Texas man I met in Austin once told me that Texans have pride of their state and arent afraid to shove that pride up to the Oklahomans Luisianians and New Mexiconians even the Kansans get the Texas Pride, but when a Californian shows up the pride subsides because they instinctively know Californians have seen things of greater beauty and magnitude than they have, He said he thaugh Texans had the biggest Trucks but Californians tend to raise theirs usually 6 inches. More frequent done so in So. Cal than North Cal, he said he was humble when he saw California's West coast for the first time. In his words he said if he struck it rich he would emulate the Beverly Hillbillies and move to California. But I do know California is a country within a country with 1 out of every 7 Americans claiming Cali their home so it could be common runing into us. Best of all when I went to Europe they asked us were we were from I said American or the U.S and they talk to us breifly but when I told them California their eyes opened up and were more eager to talk to us they knew more about Ca than I did WOW!!!, Now I just say I am a Californian even outside of the US as well. But I guess Many people of other states argue we Californians want to change the Countrys politics and their own states politics to resemble that of the Bear Republic's or Cali's. Hey Californians what feedback do you get while at other states??? I get's interesting.
