Lol, I know the feeling. I was playing a $20/$40 poker game in Beloxi Mississippi a few years back and when I got on the plane to leave I thought I had escaped. I never saw anything like it and I only talked about hunting and fishing at the table-lol. Those folks were scary and I have blond hair and blue eyes-lol. But they could sense I was not a "good old boy" and did everything to intimidate me. One day a bunch of them invited me to play at their table and I still remember the guy to my left with is big belt buckle and black cowboy hat. He was like a character out of a movie, but the whole table was sort of like that. They were sure easy to beat though, so it was a juicy game. I was helped out a lot by a couple of women running the games that liked me and so they made sure I got fair treatment when I was on a list to get into a game. There were several casinos and I was shocked by how many people were on ventilators, from smoking I guess?
