The visit by an individual into a new and different culture, and the comfort levels of that individual, is not the same as the imposition of a new culture upon residents of an established area. It was an example that someone (?) is stubbornly refusing to envisage.

When I inserted myself into Dallas culture, (yes there is!), it was a wonderful experience.
I found that I had somehow managed to transform my self overnight from an arrogant prick into somewhat of a celebrity guest at most gatherings (this was 1981, when being English in Texas was not as common as it is now).

Although there was a small language barrier, I found it a wonderful opportunity. Comments that would have got me slapped in London were enthusiastically received on Greenville Avenue, and remarks such as "What magnificent mammaries, I'd love to fondle them all night" were typically greeted with "Oh, you're English, I just love the way you talk"

Of course, I didn't hang out with the real smart women, just those from the Public Defenders Office…..

It's rarely rocket science, it's usually just math: then again if you can't do the math.......
