Culturally are Asians more similar to Hispanics or to White people?
One of my best friends is Asian (Laotian) and we have a lot of similarities between us: strict parents who value education, hard work ethic, we're close to our family, not just our parents, but also our cousins and aunt and uncles, and other things that I can't think of right now.
But my sociology teacher says that Asians and whites are more similar in their culture.
I'm not trying to generalize and say that all Asians and Latinos are this way, cuz I know they are not, but in general.
What do you think?
Yeah, I guess it's true that a lot of whites are like that too. Sorry, if I offended anyone because that probably would have offended me if I read that somwhere and they said only the races except mine had those characteristics.
Comparing cultures is not always the most knowledgeable thing to do. After all, we all change over time and although most of us keep tradition, we all end up conforming to one another in many different ways. You live with someone long enough, you're going to develop some of the same traits as that person. Through technology and the "information age" that we are in, all of our cultures are starting to get extremely combined to where comparing wouldn't be accurate at this point. We even celebrate each others' holidays, eat each others' food, speak each others' languages, and even adopt each others' decorating techniques. But saying that asians are more like whites than hispanics is like saying butterflies are more like cougars than turtles. It just doesn't work. We are all people, we are all alike and different in many different ways. And it's wonderful.
Hope this answers your question,
