One last thing before I bow out of this crazy making thread (crazy making because neither the OP nor any of us actually knows what the contractor said beyond those two words)...


I know a couple who broke up due to "cultural differences"... Religious, racial you name it, they were as different as night and day.


Was it racist for them to part ways due to cultural differences?


Was one of them supposed to complain somewhere online that she was racist for breaking up with him, and was he to report her for not being able to blend into his culture?


Good Lord I hope not and I am super glad they didn't.


Eventually they worked around their cultural differences and they've been happily married for 16 years.


I wouldn't have an awesome BIL (well two actually) if they or my sisters got butt hurt over the term "cultural differences."

You know, since there's actual racism all around us......

I mean how else ARE you supposed to describe certain things?


Now the in laws????

They were blatantly racist and made it clear my sisters and our family weren't good enough for my BILs.

Did that hurt? Of course, more so for my sisters and the BILs who cut off all contact until their families agreed to STOP being RACIST and ACCEPT "cultural differences".


See what I did there?

I used both words/ terms in one sentence and they didn't mean the same thing at all.

Point made.

Peace out.
