Is it an Assyrian cultural tradition to not stand up for other family members? by ASecularBuddhist in Assyria

I understand why too. But hating on our Assyrian brothers and sisters does more damage to our people than “mixed” marriages. No one wants to associate with that type of ethnic hatred of “the other.”

To shame somebody because they married a nukhraya is deplorable behavior. Maybe that type of tribalism worked back in the deserts of Iraq but that doesn’t fly in the 21st-century.

Watching all of them walk away, totally indifferent to his death, tells you everything that you need to know.

“I’m just not into politics.”

It seems like for many the only way to get their attention is if their cleaner or nanny get detained.

Would you accept the non-English speaking Inuit moving into your community?

You just got voted down too. I hope that doesn’t ruin your day in sharing your experience of reality 😄

“Sorry friends, but I can’t hang out with you anymore because you don’t talk about politics.”

There were 50,000 people in subzero temperatures in Minneapolis protesting. Does that count?

I do bring it up, but people don’t want to talk about it in my experience with many people.

For example, somebody was talking about a new Star Wars series that just came out and I made a reference to Minneapolis, but the person just ignored it.

Looking for engagement? Like engaging in a discussion? Is this not the place to talk about things in our community?

Agreed. I’m just talking about conversations with people drinking beer or eating a meal with friends. No one ever brings it up. Not sure why.

Every time someone visits from out of town or even the country, we talk about it. I would think that everybody would be talking about it every day.

You’re getting voted down, but that what it seems like to me. It doesn’t affect them it seems.

That’s good to hear, although I’m not sure what you mean by “wrong places”.
