Probably only because of my closeness to it probably blinded me too much to see a lot of the decent people that probably exists, but where I grew up. A small coastal town in Telemark, Norway. They are just so goddarn closeminded, unapologetic assholes, casually sexist, ignorant tribal grouped, backtalking rednecks of a people. And I thought that was the uncomfortable norm until I moved just a bit out from there.
I'm just glad they aren't very religious on top of that or they would have been completely insufferable. On the other hand, I haven't seen them racist, ableist, nor lazy. So there are probably worse places in Norway.
