I live in Southern Orange County. Those gangsta over there are from Northern Orange County.
Very possibly the single dullest area on the continent. Not full of rich white people like the stereotypes, but actually populated almost exclusively by complete tools who lack common human decency, courtesy, respect, and any ability to drive. Occasionally one may meet some who isn't half bad, and even rarer are those that are actually kind of cool. Overall however, the people are general assholes who could stab you in the back without blinking. The one good thing about the OC is how hilariously Right Wing it is. In short, a pretentious, hyper-right, suburban NYC. I should know; I grew up there.
Orange County may be Hell on earth, if one can conceive it.
Orange County is an extremely diverse, yet segregrated county. You'll find large groups of all races, just in different spots of OC. Usually split into two parts, north and south. North is usually considered the more "ghetto" and poorer part, while the South is richer and more plush. This is generally true. Some of the anomilies, however include:
-Yorba Linda: This city, unlike much of its North OC companions, is not a minority majority. There is lots of old money and blue bloods, beautiful homes and was rated by CNN as the 11th best place to live in USA.
-Fullerton: About 80% Asian, with 90% of those Asians being Korean. The city is also fairly wealthy, but is suffering from urbanization and white flight, so it is going down the tubes pretty quick.
-Villa Park: Another place with lots of old money, similar to Yorba Linda with slightly cheaper housing.
-Brea: There are parts of it which seem like an extension of Yorba Linda, and parts of it which seem like an extension of Fullerton, both nearby cities.
-Irvine: This central-south~ish city is the biggest bubble on the planet. Split in terms of ethnicity, about 45/45 Asian/White, with other ethnic groups making up the rest. It is like a government experiment gone wrong. Homes, streets, signals, business places, parks, EVERYTHING was preplanned. The result? Homes with no backyards, where you can reach out your window and shake your neighbors hand, streets where you must go past your original destination 4 miles to make a simple u-turn, etc. The school system, however, is rated to be excellent, which is why so many Asian people flocked there.
The rest of OC basically falls into the South - rich, North - poor.
The Orange County you see on TV is completely not true. Nowhere in OC do you find only spoiled rich snobby white kids.
A county in the Hudson Valley of New york, home to towns such as Goshen, Monroe, Middletown, Florida, Chester, and Newburg.
There is OTHER orange countys in the US you know.
