No sheeyot it doesn't, hence the comment about the white trashness of the people.
True story, about 15 years ago I lived in Japan. When it came time to move back to the US, one of the determining factors in not pushing hard for my then gf to move here with me was exactly that kind of a mentality that existed in the Lansing area. Not that I couldn't handle it, but the fact that she would never understand why people act like that (although it happened at times in reverse in Japan). I really had no desire for her to come here and be miserable because of the attitudes of the people. Luckily, I was able to see the effect it had on some friends relationships when they went through it. If she was able to speak English moderately well, I might have considered it.
