When they talk in tounge, and are un-educated and smell funny it aggrivates me.

Wait hold on Attention, why do americans only say Mexicans. Its like sayin mexicans are the only immigrants in the us. Actually theres more europeans in this country than mexicans. If youre talkin about hispanics and mexicans, jus call them Latinos and hispanics. Please, people who i know that are immigrants are mostly from south america and africa. Jus call them immigrants, or the race that it really is. Not jus Mexicans iight. I know wut youre tryin to explain but dont jus say one race. I hate when people do that. 😠

But don't you thi9nk that the Indians have the right to call it a "Gift Giving Tree" as long as they don't force you to say that too? But the basic arguemenjt you are giving is "If I was in their country, they wouldn't...." ...but you have to see that is flawed. Why should you do the same they do ...wouldn't it be better to be open minded and give everyone the same chances instead of saying "They probably wouldn't..."? But one doesn't need to disrespect the others opinions and cultures.
I was trying to make a point that it is a double standard. I would NEVER wear their clothes under my own will. Ever. But if I went to their country they would expect me to get accustomed to their culture. Their women wear the outfits so they would look at me and expect me to do the same, yet they come here and want it to be called "Gift Giving Time". The guy at work shouldn't have to refer to Christmas as Gift Giving Time. We live in North America and Christmas is Christmas. They should know we celebrate it. If they don't, I still don't see why they should be offended by a word. If Christmas is offensive to them then don't they think it's offensive to sit in a corner AT WORK praying to their God? (I don't but for the sake of the argument...) That's not what we do in NA but they do it anyways. Basically, they can celebrate their beliefs any way they want but I can't because it "offends" them.
The thing is "countries" don't celebrate anythin...they are neutral (or at least should be)...if you say that the majority of the people in the country celebrate that I can agree...but you have to accept that some might just not. [/B]
I know not everyone celebrates the same thing and that's cool but at the same time, if you move to a different country you have to understand that the majority might not believe in the same thing you do. Things are very different around the world and you should be prepared to accept that. They make the choice to move to Canada so they should be prepared for a whole different country.

I agree with some of this.
Especially about how we bow to every whim. In a country (region) that is 84% Christian, we cater to every weird cult that comes along so we dont seem insensitive, but God forbid you should put the ten commanmnts up in public.
