heh. I've lived in Spain too.
j/k. sort of.
But actually I did live in Spain, and some of my best friends were Shia, Sunni and Druze, and our discussions over drinks would terrify the hell out of the Spanish or English seated nearby. And then we'd go get a shawarma.
This is an attitude of making yourself relatable and human towards making friends and knowing people intimately - it's as a form of self defense, or just realism - that I seem preprogrammed to do. It's a nice part of my day, too. My grandfather never owned a gun. He had talked and romanced his way out of too many deadly situations. He believed being human to others was the only way to survive.
This whole internet of naifs is going towards a place where they're willing to slaughter before knowing each other, so it's helpful to have real world experience how to make friends.
