In reference to Cultural Relativism (the idea that all Cultures are equally valued, no matter what fucked up shit they believe) Meet the Masai "an ethnic group that can be found in Kenya and Tanzania. For them, insulting people and even straight-up spitting on their children is the very epitome of courtesy. When a Masai sees a child he has never encountered before, he will immediately spit on the kid and state: "This child is bad." Obviously, that's what we all do -- but the Masai don't even look around for cops first. There are various welcome ceremonies involving elderly men spitting on small children after being greeted by them. There's actually a completely benevolent reason behind these misanthropic antics. It is believed that explicitly praising the baby will cause it to fall ill, so they think, "This child is good," to themselves, while outwardly cursing it. As for spitting, it's seen as a sign of goodwill and best wishes: old men spit in their palms before shaking hands with younger soldiers in order to convey their blessings. And if we ever meet the drunken, curmudgeonly Masai who first came up with that brilliant cover story after assaulting a playground and some soldiers, we're going to shake his hand. Or maybe a polite nod will do the trick." Especially when many African countries still do Female genital mutilation as a cultural practice.

It was like you dropped off the face of the earth save for a Like here and there. Yeah i kind of did. In their effort to shoot themselves in the foot they decided to suspend me for three days because I couldn't understand the broken english of an arab who said "someone broke the door" meant "home invasion" instead of "burglary." Fuck me, right?

Fuck me, right? Sounds like many Arabs that work in Australia whom do postal service or phone reception jobs. They speak broken English,and when there's a communication problem,they start yelling and behaving like the arrogant shits they are.
