It's not just gentiles
Brigham Young University's 100 Hour Board, manned around the clock by student volunteers, answers questions about Mormonism and its peculiar culture. A recent question brought to light a surprising and little-known phenomenon: LDS members who live outside Utah make fun of what they call "Utah Mormons," too!An LDS member who has "never eaten jello salad with carrots or ratted my hair a foot above my head" asks for a description of Utah Mormons.
Hobbes of 100 Hour Board offers a list of characteristics including:
- Lack of experience with an imaginary place called The Real World, usually defined as anywhere outside of Utah.
- Dogmatic adherence to non-doctrines or semi-doctrines like caffeine or playing video games on Sunday.
- Naivete.
- Bad driving skills.
- A unique lexicon "Oh, flip/fetch!" "Oh my heck!" etc.
- Xenophobia.
- Blind Republican loyalty.
- Weird names for children.
For some reason, there's a fair amount of intense bigotry against Utah from many members of the Church, and there's irritatingly little you can do about it. Have a nice life, and leave the narrow-minded to their own devices.

The whole drum beat of how the 'apostates' or 'heretics' are the worst enemy of 'the Church™' that justifies discriminating against anyone that doesn't want to be a part of their God is White club is total BS.
The image of 'the Church™' is tarnished by their insistance that they all have 14 kids and make sure they have all the decent jobs here.
