Midwest Asian

I was having dinner with my coworker from Hawaii. She's Asian American, (American born Japanese). We were talking about Hawaii and about the people and culture and she told me how Asian Americans living in Hawaii are different than people who live in California or New York. There's not something obvious but there's just something where you know that they live in a certain area. She said that when she first met me, she knew I wasn't from California or Hawaii but I had to be either from the Midwest or East Coast. I thought that was pretty funny but it's true. I never thought about it but a California Asian American is different than a Hawaii Asian American lol She also told me that she would have never guessed that I was from Iowa haha
