My Tunisian family member (my wife's ex-husband's estranged second wife) is still shocked by things that I take for granted. And she's been in the US for 36 years.

The other day she was telling us about the time she found out one of her kids teachers was Jewish and was frightened about how badly they would treat her child and how bad they were in general. Only to be surprised that it was a normal interaction with another person when she finally met them. Sure it was 15 years ago, but still surprising she had clung that kind of mentality for so long... especially since she knows I'm technically Jewish though I have no real connection to it.
