    That’s ignorance, which is different from any sort of intentional disrespect.

    You get a pass,as a kid.

    You’re going to ask, how do I know you’re getting a pass?

    Go ask anybody from the culture you’re afraid of offending if you get a pass for being a child.

    It’ll be cool.

      No one person can represent an entire culture though. That’s why it’s on us to learn how to be respectful.

      For example, someone from Mexico might be just fine with offensive Hispanic stereotypes, but that doesn’t excuse such behavior. You can’t just ask a random person for a pass, like what? Even asking for something like that would be utterly tasteless lmao

        Yes, a Mexican person being appreciative of a random foreign guy wearing a sombrero does excuse your interpretation of stereotypes.

        You don’t actually need to ask people for passes, that’s a silly meme.

        You can appreciate someone’s culture and they’ll talk to you like a human being.
