I'm American so I'm from a high context culture. I'm also very direct and straightforward in my communication style as part of who I am. You could say that I'm a very low context communicator.
This is an interesting topic. Much of the writing and videos on it remain unclear to me despite research. I can’t see how the example of an email from a hypothetical Brazilian was in any way interpretable as too personal, or non-explicit. He made what he was asking clear and direct, and he didn’t discuss anything out of bounds with the hypothetical American at all. I also can’t see how his email lacked logic or her response to it contained really any. I honestly found that the revised email example given near the end was not culturally special, so much as it was simply politer. These standards of politeness were until very recently still used in the US and still are by many. There are Americans who would be bothered by the short style used in her first email and think of it as too informal and call it “modern” - this value is being thrown out and lost as time goes on. But by no means is it non-Western, simply formal and traditional.
