What’s your favorite culture?

I’ve always loved the Mexican/Spanish culture.
I just never encountered many lazy ones. Between practically growing up on a ranch and living with some Mexican families and learning about them, I grew appreciation for them.
I dated a Mexican (and currently am) and to see how strong the family is. I mean even when they argue or have fights. Everyone seems to come from all around just to celebrate even the smallest things. The food they cook is amazing. Even when it seems like there’s not much variety. Each dish is full of flavor. Think my favorite celebration of theirs is Día de Muertos. Just because of the color. The tradition of the marigolds and leaving an empty chair. Of course they are sad about the passing of. But how they believe their families visit them. Just. Idk. Something about that interests me. Also to, speaking of dead people, their families take care of the tombs. The dead are not forgotten. Which to me is heartwarming. You know how many of my family members I’ve visited since they died? None. You know who takes care of the graves? The workers there. But no not in the Mexican culture...the families do. And that’s just. Uggggh😍😍😍

I studied Indian culture for a semester, thought the theology of it was very cool in broad strokes. I had a very good professor though, who could probably make anything interesting. Obv a lot of regressive bullshit there too though lol
I suspect the 'lazy' perception might be related to the custom of siestas in the heat of the day. It's perfectly sensible (only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun), although less common than it once was.

I live in a predominantly Spanish community and my neighbors work very hard. They are generous, friendly, and they enjoy life.

I love songs in Spanish too, and their architecture, I want to see more of Spain.

I have a major problem though with their record of animal abuse. They make them fight: dogs, chickens, bulls. The matador.
But more people seem more conscionable when it comes to animal suffering these days. So am a bit hopeful.

@DestroyerOfIdeologies everything takes time. I think they’re starting to see what’s going wrong.
But speaking of animal abuse. You’ve heard what China does right?

@londonbr1dg3 with dogs? It wouldn't surprise me if there are other ones too, very sadly.

@DestroyerOfIdeologies not talking about the dogs specifically. Talking about how they’d skin them alive

I don't choose people by what culture they belong to but I appreciate each culture for it's uniqueness.
