What a disgusting what to view other cultures.
The only confusing thing here is that this article assumes the way "we" tell time makes sense, and the way "They" tell time is confusing.
It is as if somehow everything "we" do is the one and only best way, and any other way is simple and quaint.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoI think the article is pretty clear that this is only confusing to outsiders. Nowhere does she say that her culture's understanding of time is superior. Instead, the article ends with her praising the superiority of the Mexican understanding of time.
- mkl 9y agoIt's written for an audience. The way that audience tells time does make sense to us (in the audience), and other ways can be confusing to us. There is no judgement whatsoever, and no claim that one view is more right. It is an explanation of differences. I think you are imagining insults that were not intended, much like the author's initial misinterpretation of "ahorita".
