Although we toured the entire country, and had many truly superb experiences, the south - and parts of Texas - really stood out as paradigms of intolerance.
So, stay away from road signs. I've had beer bottle tossed at me as well and I'm a Texan.
If you are acting/dressed in a way that is not along with the society's norm then you will recieve extra attention. Where ever you may be, EU, Irag, Denmark, Honduras or even in the deep South.

I thought the spot that JC did was entertaining but many things can be edited for the desired effect. Wouldn't be much of a show without some conflict.
