The politeness and etiquette thing is where we immediately saw eye to eye. It was clearly important to her and it's important to me personally and (supposedly) important to me because of my nationality.
We were really different in terms of political and religious belief and we both instinctively knew that there was no good reason to discuss it (it's not like we'd change each other's mind) so we stuck what we had in common.
After that experience, I started to notice the same attributes in other Texans where previously I hadn't seen it. It's my firm belief that if you spend time with anyone different than you, you will come to understand them and that "different" rarely ever means threatening.
Just how off the mark is my view of the state of Texas?
