A possibly sensitive question…

If someone doesn’t know about your culture or ethnicity, are you okay with them asking you questions, if they do it respectfully, or do you find it offensive ?

(Personally I’d rather be asked than have the person making assumptions that are [b]really[/b] insulting.)🙁

@SHREKPage The important thing to remember is that everything we say about all issues is our opinion and not necessarily fact. Whenever we say that something is a fact about a social issue it is our interpretation of what other people have said or written about the issue. As a group, we know very little about most issues from our own experience so we have to rely upon what other people have said about the subject. If their statements seem credible we usually adopt most, if not all, of it into our belief system. But it is still opinion and not 100% factual.

@Diotrephes Well, I [b]guess[/b] that’s an easy enough way to dismiss what people may know about their own lives and families. 😳
