It is a state! I have proof!
There are roads leading to West Virginia 
The "other" Charleston
Who says West Virginia is a poor state with non business savvy rednecks? They are smart, they just invested all their money on a gold domed capitol. Did you know the prices of gold has increased substantially after they recoated the gold. Smart investment!
Jokes apart, this is by far the best looking capitol in the country.
Found this on Wikipedia..
The racial/ethnic makeup of the state is:
94.7% White, not of Hispanic origin , 3.1% Black , 0.7% Hispanic of any race , 0.5% Asian , 0.2% Native American , 0.9% Mixed race .
The five largest ancestry groups in West Virginia are: American (23.2%), German (17.2%), Irish (13.5%), English (12%), Italian (4.8%)
So Alex, this goes against your theory about West Virginians - we are a diverse group
Also, the following people were born/have lived in WV just to name a few:
Classical composer George Crumb
Alias star Jennifer Garner
Booker T. Washington, the writer, educator, and early civil rights leader
NFL superstar Randy Moss
Miami Heat point guard Jason Williams

Whoops, that was me (above)
Anyway I'll see your West Virginian state house and raise you Colorado's (click my name to see!)

The judges have come back with the verdict: West Virginia is a State on a technicality.
Every state has a state it makes fun of. Ohio has Kentucky. NC has SC. Arkansas has Mississippi. California has Utah. Everybody has WV.
Here are some good state jokes:
Did you hear that [insert state here] has raised the drinking age to 28?
They are trying to keep Alcohol out of the middle schools.
I once was caught smuggling books into [insert state here], but I got off b\c they couldn’t prove they were books.
When the Olympic flame was coming through, they had to skip [insert state here] because they haven’t seen fire yet.
In CO we make fun of Texas and Kentucky. We mostly just forget West Virginia exists. In fact, that may have been the first conversation I had with Kavita....
I've heard of West Virginia before!
