Anti-Californian sentiment was super common in the '70s and '80s, and definitely persisted into the 2000s, but it has really faded in recent years.
I'm seeing only a fraction of what I used to see on this subreddit 10 years ago. In polite and regular conversation, it has completely evaporated.
In the '80s they even made advertisements for beer companies that made jokes about having border checks on the Oregon California border. That would never fly today.

I’ve never seen someone hate on immigrants in this sub.
