I'm from New Hampshire orginally, and I promise you they're quite friendly. =P They're more open to unique characters than the south, which is still rather friendly as well, but not incredibly open. Florida isn't the home of the kindest people, but everyone is overly friendly.. In other words, I've noticed that people are very fake here. Every time I talk to someone from up north who has been here, they agree. People from the New England states are more reserved and community oriented.
lol, Yeah, we aren't completely sensitive to other cultures. As a whole, we remain ignorant to other cultures because they don't generally enter our lives- unless you go online to sites like this or play video games. I personally never had a friend from another country til I came on this site, myself. Course, I studied geography in high school so, I know where Australia is.... In any case, most Americans are rather sheltered. We have so much in our own back yard that we forget other people even exist... =/
I must say though, I never thought of Americans as arrogant until I talked to people from other areas. Not gonna lie either, I'm pretty arrogant even compared to my American pals. So it was harder for me to see til I had something to compare it to.
Oh, Walmart. lol. Yeah, people of Walmart is pretty exaggerated. Though, the associates are as gossipy and careless as they say. As well as miserable, but that part is very understandable. Walmart has literally no compassion whatsoever. Every single thing they do, managers included, is about money. This year, Christmas bonus was barely $100 for a local supermarket- one of the busiest in the area. After making them work Black Friday on Thanksgiving (busiest shopping day of the year for US.) (They pushed their major sales events to Thursday, Thanksgiving day because they thought they'd get more money.. which was a bust, btw.) Well now I'm ranting dammit.
