NO GRACIAS! explain to me

We all know where we are. If this kind of thing happened in the USA, Americans would be used to it. People who come here are used to things like at home and this is not it.

My reply makes perfect sense.

I answered him perfectly and he understands.

Read what you're saying. It is a typical cultural-based or ethnocentric response. So how would someone from a different culture understand or know "what Americans are used to"? The Americans from south of the Río Bravo have no idea what the Americans north of the Río Bravo are used to. Here folks figure if you come here then you must like it or else you wouldn't be here. But more importantly, the folks here believe the Americans from north of the Río Bravo should respect Mexican culture instead of expecting Mexicans or any other Americans from south of the Río Bravo to change or behave differently just to suit Americans from north of the Rio Bravo. Get it yet? :stirpot: :smoking:
