Attack of the Ugly Americans
Why do Americans think that it is socially acceptable to ask all kinds of personal (very personal) questions to people of a different nationality? I bring this up because, today at the nail salon, I watched a woman pry deeply into the religious affiliation of one of the women who works there. The women who run this salon are Vietnamese, and sure, their culture is significantly different than ours. But somehow, I don’t think it’s ever okay to ask someone you just met about why they’re Buddhist (or Christian, or Jewish for that matter).
I’m just sayin’.
