Why are people always stereotyping Orange County?

Because they are jealous of your lifestyle I'd bet. I mean living on the beach every day would be pretty awesome. And yes you may not think so but most everyone there is rich. My dad went back to his old California home in LA and found it to be a trashy house infested with Mexicans. Completley unkept 2 story house that was for sale for 450,000!!!! My house was ten times nicer than that and we bought it for 190,000 in good ole' Bama! You may not think everyone is rich but that's because you are used to seeing it around you. And when everyone is rich, people think you are snobs.
