I think it's a total misconception that people automatically assume small towns equals no crime and friendly atmosphere. I lived in Redcliff for the first 10 years of my life, and going back and visiting, I was pretty shocked at how a lot of my elementary friends turned out. Drug use, teen pregnancy, and underage drinking is a problem down there. People just don't have much else to do.
And driving through there, people gave me weird looks. It's like they've never seen an Asian person before. I was expecting to see confederate flags hanging out of their pick up trucks.
