For people who move to a foreign country (and it's usually a ~ cosmopolitan~ city at that) and then eventually move back citing "cultural differences" - like what differences are that stark that you can't live with them? Oh no the people there grew up with different stories than I did how can we get along? I'm i being too "I'm built different"? Is it a dog whistle for racism? What's up with it?
Oh yeah, mining towns are brutal. My grandmother still lives in a town that has no access, so you can only fly or boat in. I lucked out because my dad was able to find a house outside of the rez when i was a kid.
