From an Alexander Payne interview (Election, About Schmidt) from the onion:

O: Cinema’s few depictions of Midwest life seem to describe it as America’s Heartland. Do you consider your films a corrective to that?

AP: It’s not really my job to say that, because I don’t think that way. I think about what movie I would like to see. I don’t think of them as a correction or palliative. I certainly am irritated by anything that’s shot in the Midwest and filled with these noble people. “Oh, they’re so good, and they’re so honest…” I’m not interested in that. I just think of what’s right for a movie.

O: What do you like to emphasize? What do you feel needs to be captured about the region?

AP: Well, again, not just about my films, but in general, I think the complexity. I think about what I want to shoot in Nebraska again, and one thing that most comes to mind is to make a film about Mexicans. The Midwest is crawling with Mexicans now. It’s very interesting. In Omaha, there’s a Mexican consulate because of the large numbers of people who work all over the state in slaughterhouses and packing houses. They’re the current wave of Catholics who come from another country and take the lowest job. I think that’s interesting, for example. You say the Midwest: Well, what is Detroit? Black, ghettoized Detroit? That’s the Midwest. The south side of Chicago is the Midwest. North Omaha is the Midwest. To say it’s all noble white people is such bullshit. I think anything that communicates a monolithic point of view about anything is wrong, certainly about a region.
