My family comes from a more pretty conservative culture(which shall remain ambiguous) which views some things pretty differently from mainstream culture in the U.S. One big example is that homosexuality is very taboo and it is the norm for people to be intolerant of gays in our native culture. My younger brothers and I were raised in the U.S. and we think more like people here, therefore we have a pretty tolerant attitude towards things like homosexuality.

However, what is pissing me off is that my brothers seem to have simply replaced those intolerant views with the intolerant views which are rampant among Americans. For example, a few days ago we were discussing a character from a T.V. show. My brother started saying how he hates this character, and the main reason he gave for it is the fact that he is in his 30s and had a dating stint with another character who is an 19 year old college girl. This character is portrayed as a narcissistic douchebag in general on the show, but what makes him a bad person to my brother is the fact that he dated a younger woman. This is the same brother who when one of my friends used the word "******" he stopped him and started saying how that's not a good word to use.

So basically hating homosexuals is bigotry but hating men who date younger women is ok? I find this really hypocritical. And as an almost 27 year old guy who has every intention of dating younger women, I find it very offensive too.
