posted: ANTIsocial Behaviour, Culture shock, Racial Discriminationexperienced any of the following? my experience seems shallow, but when i stayed in tokyo, my view of wearing flipflops changed totally. i grew up on the beach and it's always comfortable to me to wear slippers.. i felt embarrassed when people look at my feet with criticizing eyes, tho my toes are clean and well pedicured. ive learned that they have a different perspective about da feet. now, i only wear slippers during summer, but not too often. |

Yes My early teen years here in Oz (which is also my early years in Australia), I was surprised some mates calling me "arsehole", "dickhead", "wombat" and many other insulting names. I found out it's their way of establishing rapport. WEIRD!! |

posted: RE: ANTIsocial Behaviour, Culture shock, Racial Discriminationyou know it's not so much as color or ethnicity, but more of education/understanding of individuals i had dealt with. oh and believe me i dealt with all the above ...though i'll admit i am big at critizing latinos in general....i have such beef with "la raza" i heavily look down on "latino pride", "chicanos" and most latin orgins....just tired of being sterotyped as 1 of them and more than this, i'm exhausted of being called a "sell out" because i do not conform with the old world views. |
