[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: I'm thinking about talking to SIL first.  Maybe she's really uncomfortable or maybe our rowdy family of jocks made her uneasy, I don't know.  She's been here for several years now and you'd think she'd at least be somewhat at ease...[/quote]

She could be insecure and perhaps have social anxiety when in new situations.  People like that tend to be on a high horse - to show strangers they are superior and cover up their insecurities.  Just feel sorry for people like her - immigrants who choose to life in this country (bad education system, un-cultured people etc...)

If everything is so bad here, why are millions and millions of people trying to move here?  I don't know of any other country that many in the world want to move to. Unlike China, Russia, India, Brazil, Americans want to STAY in their country!    The U.S. must not be that bad after all.

I had a friend from England who complained about the schools in our community, how our social programs didn't take care of the poor enough, U.S. foreign policy....When I got to the point where I no longer cared if she was my friend, I just point blank asked her, "Why don't you go back to England?"  She had no answer and our friendship ended right there.[/quote]
