I would say this is more true of the midatlantic/northeast. Very direct, say what they mean, it can come off as rude, or mean, but the subject outside of delivery, is not so.
After living in the southwest (born in LV, lived in PUMA, lived in Phoenix, lived in Prescot AZ, dad was stationed at edwards for a while too). I agree with this chart in a very superficial, this is a joke on the internet, way, honestly. Never met so many people who were just abrasive all around, than the SW. Hey, it’s been a lot of years though. There might have been a big cultural shift. Even if it hasn’t, I would take it over the “southern hospitality” mask of the SE, any day.
Maybe curmudgeonly is a better way of putting it. They say what they mean and they don’t feel like anyone is owed niceness or personal interaction. That doesn’t mean they hate you, they just don’t care about you and aren’t afraid to let you know.
The people in the Southwest are just very forthright. They don’t say one thing and mean another.
