People on the East Coast really are concerned with pride than character? Or is it a bias?

I'm not sure if the singer meant "pride" in the typical sense, but East Coasters are said to have a sense of pride stemming from their East Coast origins (as evident by the common expression "East Coast pride"). In general, many people believe in stereotypes about the differences between East and West Coast people: that those from the West Coast are laidback and carefree, while East Coasters are too busy and career-focused.
