It stems from Minnesota's deep Scandanvian & Lutheran (and often antinomian) roots. It lands somewhere in between turning a blind eye and addressing something passive aggressively.
Minnesota Nice is the passive aggressive way of saying someone is passive aggressive. If it was actually being nice, it would just be called being nice.
Truth about Minnesota nice is that if you’re not from Minnesota they will especially do this to you when they find out. You’re not one of them. They greet you with a smile they go along with you. They are nice and kind to you. However, that’s until you turn your back to them after you said goodbye, then the Minnesotans talk all kinds of smack about you behind your back. If you’re not local to Minnesota, I would suggest not move there. Otherwise you will have no friends just cause they talk to you. They smile at you and they greet you. They’re not your friends. They’re just being nice.
Yep, even my relatives are like that. Back in the 90's we got together all the time. Now because of dumb social media no one gets together. They always say lets get together at a funeral or wedding or big birthday but it never happens.
Yep, I am from Minnesota but not born here. Cannot wait to move out. Only here to take care of my elderly father. They love to stare also. Almost like they judge you based on being different than them.
So... In a nutshell, a state full of fake, disingenuous and passive agressieve folks who say nice things, but don't mean it? Nah, I'm cool... I prefer niceness that's genunine and sincere... Not this performative bs where folks are fake nice.
It's nothing like southern comfort. It's akin to passive aggressiveness

Passive aggressiveness is alive and well in the flyover state
I agree. I am Danish and this sounds very Scandinavian to me.
It don't come from any of that any state can have thier own style accent ect. Culture.
@@DaveyjdigitalCultural norms can be adopted behaviors from a previously dominant society.
Those are my roots and myself and family are not like that. I think it goes deeper than that. I cannot stand PA Minnesotans.
We're about to turn into Chicago if we be too nice.
It's a passive-aggressive behavior. Not really nice at all.
It's EVIL. They're evil people.
At this point I'll just be happy to not have my car stolen. Wonderful progress we've made since the Grumpy Old Men days.
I've heard if you move to Minnesota. You should bring your own friends.
It's just Swedish mentality, same in here ( Sweden)

Maybe instead of being more open, maybe be more honest and direct.

The passive aggressive example was goofy
1:12 book: Minnesota Nice? 1:33 7 characteristics
This is perfect. I'm sharing this with someone from South America who simply can't comprehend why his work presentation went so blah
Minnesota nice is Minnesota taxpayers paying for everything you need. You don't have to work or get an education.
Thanks Ilhan
Lip Service is big here in Mn,they lie all the time.
Let's do this or that sometime but it never happens. I miss Southern hospitality.

Being pathologically fake and needlessly hyper-judgemental...behind everyone's backs...like the lowliest of cowards. THAT is MN "nice".

Fine, The Minnesota F word is amazing and so true when working remotely with them remotely and needing feedback.

Crazy I have only ever heard it used to describe racism like someone being racist is Minnesota nice.I suggest not using this term lol.
Just watch Fargo.
Passive, wimpy, and dishonest.
It's a bs myth. That's what it is. lol
I'd say, manners and tolerance. The majority, at least. Which is fine 💜
Minnesota nice is racism with a smile
Exactly white people don’t want to admit this
Pretty much. They’re nice until they feel they can get away with disrespecting you.

Your darn tootin
That news reader has white phosphorous teeth.
Well that's just being Asian.
They usually don't have the newsanchor do the field interviews. Lol insulting. Black men exit corporate America
They can go ahead and exit America all together.
