The comment about his culture and ethnicity were unthinking comments like the Hispanic comment. My mom is Irish and he told her she is not because she doesn’t celebrate the Irish culture. She asked what is his culture. My husband is not handy. My dad teases that he doesn’t know the sharp end of a screwdriver. My dad also would tell my husband he should get a business degree. They know how intelligent he is. They just tease. And politically, we are not on the same page but they have always acted as if they are on the same level. My mom dropped out of high school.
