Do people have a hard time relating to certain aspects of your culture? Please give an example!?

Question

I think most people in my community are very open-minded, it’s very diverse. However, Being a Mexican we tend to use adjectives to refer to each other that may seem like insults to everyone one else. For example, most of us call each other fatty (gordis), black one (negrita/o), brown one (Moreno/a), curly haired (chino), skinny, old, light skinned one, one that looks like an Indian, the list goes on. We use these adjectives with each other as terms of affection, but a few of my friends, especially those who are not Latino and are just learning Spanish, can’t seem to relate. A few have told me we are just being mean to each other in a passive aggressive manner.

snakie381cg, I feel your pain, my friends get grossed out when I bring beef tongue, or intestines as my school lunch. They like it until I tell them what it is. Too funny!

Answer 1

I am an Australian & yes, I can say I feel that way at times. Our country is very diverse with its cultures & there have been times when I have felt out of place in my own community. There are people from a certain culture (I will not mention which one due to the insults & back lash I'll recieve!) who have migrated to this country from a war torn area & they dont seem to have any respect or appreciation for what this country has done for them. Im not sure about how they treat the working class back in their own country, but here, they are so rude.
Another culture that is completely different from mine, whereas their women have no say or anything like that & the men rule the land. Well, they seem to want to inflict this upon my culture also. I do not dress as a tart or disrespect myself or anyone else, but I quite often find myself feeling very uneasy around such men as they look down at me & the women appear to have such a hatred towards the women of my culture. My partners ex girlfriend is from this religion & she wanted to marry a man from a completley different culture, her family wouldnt allow it & as she stood up for what she wanted, her father bashed the poor girl beyond recognition. She is now hiding from her family.
I just dont understand other cultures but that does not mean I dont respect their ways. I just wish the same courtesy could be given in return. It is very disheartening that humanity is becomming so intolerant of each other.
Thanks for asking hey.
