Here? You have a bunch of white guys acting a certain way in a state widely influenced by Latin behavior: true Hispanic influence and trying to look cool.

The Mafia did/does it, too, but it's Italian and Sicilian influence...

No big deal. Somewhat backwards, even...

Odd Florence's ancestors were from Castile in Spain and I never observed that behaviour, The kiss on the check, which is usually an air kiss, I have observed. Interestingly enough I recently discovered that based on historical events should we ever move to Spain based on her maiden surname she would be granted automatic citizenship.

Oh BTW she is not Hispanic but is Italian-Spanish as her seven times great grandfather was originally from Italy but married a Spanish lady in Castile. Her six time great grandmother had the title Doņa.

Texas.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luby%27s_shooting

Quote:
On October 16, 1991, 35-year-old George Pierre "Jo Jo" Hennard, an unemployed merchant mariner or able seaman who was described by others as angry and withdrawn, with a dislike of women, drove his blue 1987 Ford Ranger pickup truck through the front window of a Luby's Cafeteria at 1705 East Central Texas Expressway in Killeen. Yelling "This is what Bell County did to me! This is payback day!", Hennard then opened fire on its patrons and staff with a Glock 17 pistol and, later, a Ruger P89. He stalked, shot, and killed 23 people, ten of them with single shots to the head,[3] and wounded another 20 before committing suicide. Approximately 140 people were in the restaurant at the time.
