    People of colonial complexion apparently have a different definition of what is “rude”. In any Latin American country I know, for example, “rude” is doing whatever you want in other people’s homes. What to expect from a culture that normalizes staying in bed with shoes on. And if you’re supposed to act like you’re at home wherever you are, why leave your house?

      it’s the individualization of the mindset of colonialism. so at least they’re being consistent here.

      Well you see, the cumskins are correct, which is why they had to go all over the planet to tell brown people how wrong and barbaric their version of hospitality is. If white people’s customs aren’t objectively correct, how come all the other cultures are inferior?

      To be real I thought the expectation was always “someone else’s house, their rules” and this article is alarming. Despite being in kkkanada I was raised to obey the rules of whoever’s house I am at, it is their space.

      What else to expect from settler ‘‘culture’’. For them it’s about doing whatever they want at someone else’s house and expense. Like huf said, at least it’s consistent.
