(1,832 posts)I lived in the Temecula area, and then up again in the Angels Camp/Manteca area. For the most part the people down in San Diego were an equal mix of rude and polite. Specifically anytime it came up I didn't speak Spanish. It only came up two or three times in the years I lived there, but it was enough to be kind of upsetting. As for Angels Camp, it was ok up there, most people in my neighborhood kept to themselves. But my time down in San Diego ruined me for California. I might not speak it, but I understand when I am being insulted. The crap in Kentucky was the usual BS. I am half Hispanic, Half Russian so I look very distinct, Very blue eyes, blonde hair, but dark skin and you can see the beautiful mixture of Indians and Spanish that occurred in Mexico in my facial features. So the crap in Kentucky was typical BS you get from the rednecks. It was the Mount Washington/Bardstown area.
As for Texas and Hawaii, I am from Texas originally and have met the nicest people here all my life. I was curios about Hawaii because of the whole "Haole" mythology. But the people in Hawaii were also so incredibly nice. I am trying to get another job out there right now as I love Texas, but dislike El Paso. I am a waterman and the climate here in West Texas is not for me.
