I hate seeing B&T people crowd into Manhattan on weekends.  If they would keep their guido haircuts and drunken antics back in New Jersey and Long Island, I would be happy.  So, I can't really complain about the suburbanites who never come into the city.
Guy whose name is a Brooklyn neighborhood complains about B&T people?

The nice parts of Brooklyn can complain about B&T people.  People who live in Morningside Heights aren't lording it over people in Williamsburg, right? 
You know what B&T stands for, right?

I looked up "B and T" (never heard the term) just to satisfy myself that indeed it does not mean "black and tan."  Smiley

You're being overly literal here; "B&T" as it is commonly understood pretty clearly does not include most of Brooklyn.  For various reasons.

Not that I'm particularly a fan of any neighborhood "lording it over" any other, either.

...

As for the OP, I find the mindset to be completely alien, but that doesn't necessarily make them "horrible people"- to each their own.  Now, if they refuse to go into the city because they're scared/scornful of crime and minorities and public transportation and having to interact with Others, rather than simply being uninterested in what cities have to offer, then that's an entirely different story.
