those who think "New Yorkers are so nasty" can go back to the 3rd world cities from which they come!
It is remarks like that create New York's reputation for being so parochial and even nasty among the citizenry of the rest of the Unites States of America and the world.
Nonsense!
That's a catchphrase...the same thing I'd expect to hear if I was drinking in some bar (I say bar because I gravitate to bars.) in Fort Worth, TX ragging on any one of a number of real or imaginary "Texan" stereotypes, and the tone of voice in which it would be
said delivered would vary, depending on the bar I was in and/or the person to whom I was talking, from polite to nasty, from forceful to forcible....
On the other hand, though, the tone of your response gives me the impression that you've either swallowed the New Yorker stereotype hook, line, and sinker or have got a corroborating story to tell.
