I think people are shy, unfriendly, are embarrassed or are fearful, judgemental based on media stereotype and personal feelings and hidden agenda when it comes to interacting with unknown. So these will make any society look unwelcome. But i cannot say Knoxville is unwelcoming 100% of the time, and i wish this question can have 'Yes,No and Neutral' and i would have selected Neutral because i have made great friends here and there are welcoming and unwelcoming characters everywhere in the world. I try not be judgemental to people i don't know because i don't play stereotypes to shy away from others, so this attitude helps me see Knoxville welcoming. At times we need to get out of our comfort zones and face the reality and deal with it, correct
