Quoting catwoman: I actually don't like excessive hospitality. I prefer a more balanced approach where both sides - the guests and the hosts don't try to excessively go out of their ways to please each other!  |
it sounds strange but i agree with you!

Quoting ciko: if the guest is from Turkey and has dark skin..hospility is just a dream in US ( except east of US ) that is what she told me |
That's a big generalization. I personally haven't seen any instances where anybody was discriminated based on their skin color, especially guests. I'm sure such things happen, but strangely enough, all Americans that I've met were very open and excited about people from other cultures.

+10000 It can make you feel embarassed if hosts are TOO excessive. The thought of somebody doing things "differently" because of YOU etc. makes you feel rather self-consciencious and bothersome!

Speaking as an American we only like ivory skinned people. Everyone else who has a pinkish hue or darker we give a hard time to. Especially in Texas, if you have a sun tan effect we get disgusted. We like to sun bath ourselves, so you are required to wear a sticker that states your a white American, so rocks aren't thrown at you.

Btw, ciko - I'm not trying to diminish what happened to your relative, I am sorry to hear that. I'm not defending those who did discriminate, but it's definitely NOT a norm - based on my experience.

On the one visit I made to Houston, Texas, I can only say that it was one of the most misogynistic, sexist places I have ever visited It doesn't surprise me that they may be a tad racist too...
