[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Unlike China, Russia, India, Brazil, Americans want to STAY in their country[/b]!    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]

this is changing rapidly. i went go phd school witih several chinese students. all of them went back to china. it used to be the case that grad school would be a stepping stone to staying in the us, and while this is surely still the case, it's nowhere as common as it used to be.[/quote]
