(7,670 posts)This is something that seems to be a common refrain among rural people, they don't get along with others well unless they already know them.
To give an example, a friend moved to the middle of no where, way out in the country, and they were hosting a "welcome" party for themselves, mostly inviting some friends and family, with a couple of neighbors she socialized with through work. Anyways, talked to this one guy who was the SO of one of her friends(didn't know him myself). And he was complaining about his work, see, he lives in the same area, out in the country, but travels about an hour into the city to work, and he works with black people, and as he put it, he has a "big mouth" and they don't get along. Read between the lines, he's a racist shithead. He's hoping for a transfer to a whiter area for his work, and I say he's welcome to it, but this guy, nor the culture he represents represents America anymore, and thank goodness for that.
