Never seen such a lack of self-awareness in a comment. And I've been here quite a while! Americans having to adjust to other people's cultures. Imagine that.

- filterfish 5y agoSteady on!
- lr4444lr 5y agoEh... Can't we just bomb them as usual? ;-)
- solipsism 5y agoWait... Did you not read the comment? It's talking about American culture...
- vinay427 5y agoMaybe I'm missing something, but I'm genuinely not sure how the comment you replied to is implying that? I read it as saying the US woman should have adjusted her behavior.
- scrollaway 5y agoIt's more that the comment is missing the point of the grandparent. Having worked across a lot of cultures, it's easy to spot how ignorant it is. And ignorance is fine but the poster is trying to decide how people Should Have Acted when they're clearly not in a place to really know that.
- solipsism 5y agoI've worked across a lot of cultures too. If you believe it's normal part of "Hindu" culture to put your hand on co-worker's knees, to the point that they are avoiding you, then I'm afraid you don't know as much as you think you do.
- coldelectrons 5y agoSome of us Americans can't even adjust to the culture of other ever-so-slightly different Americans.
