I live in Canada and we get this reputation for being polite and nice and stuff, while yes a Canadian will hold a door for you or say sorry if he bump into you we are not polite like Patriots from the Southern States.
I work for an American company and so we get all of our stuff shipped from America, the drivers from Tennessee are so polite and just a joy to interact with. Im 24 and an old Southern man called me sir asking how much trouble it would be to use the bathroom, he said please and thank you, and then cleaned a bunch trash in the yard I was avoiding while unloading his truck. The second truck had a younger man who complimented me on my driving skills and was extremely polite asking me about what he needed to do. Its always like this without fail, they treat me like they are a guest in my home and its just amazing. One man even brought a little sewed prayer thing for the office lady when she got cancer, said his entire family preyed for her to get better. Its just crazy to me how polite and giving those guys are.
America is an amazing country with some really great people. All my lie I thought American Southerners were stupid racists because ya'll are made fun of so much in all culture. It honestly really makes sense because you guys are some of the best people on Earth. One day I will move to Texas and become a citizen. Thank You Patriots for keeping America Great.
Texan here and I have worked for a Canada-based company for a very long time. I’m fond of all of Canada except for the Quebecois. They can be short and abrasive. They’re not necessarily bad people, but I think they’re full of themselves. Ring any bells?
My dad was from Arkansas. You learned “sir” and “ma’am” or else. I’ve always done it, but mostly enjoy it because it is polite; especially as a Texan. Race doesn’t matter. Do it enough and you stop seeing color. (edit: you still see color, you don't see race)
