You are kind of expected to adjust yourself to the culture of the country you’re immigrating to. If you fail (or refuse) to do so in the most obvious/visible ways possible (like clothing), I think you shouldn’t be surprised when people look at you weird because you look out of place.
- bcye 4mo agoSomeone wearing a hijab looks out of place in the land of the Döner?
- aleph_minus_one 4mo ago> Someone wearing a hijab looks out of place in the land of the Döner? The history with the Turkish gastarbeiters is a complicated one. Please don't twist the knife in the wound.
- bcye 4mo agoHow is this twisting the knife in the wound? I wanted to say that they (and other people wearing hijabs) are part of German culture.
- suddenlybananas 4mo agoThis is very bad faith and you know it.
- bcye 4mo agoIt was in fact not, hence why I asked :/
- suddenlybananas 4mo agoI don't think even the women wearing the hijabs would consider it to be part of German culture.
- fallingbananna 4mo agoI don't know about you, but I don't treat people worse just because they dress differently. And similarly, I don't think it's reasonable to suggest OP is the wrong one for being treated worse for wearing clothes from their culture. If you look out of place, you will get more looks, and that's it, that's where the line should end.
