brasilofcolor:Luiz Gonzaga okay i just need to vent…some time ago there was a meme that was basically a parrot wearing a hat such as this with some quote like ‘when you try a new accessory and feels silly’ and that was quite weird to me, but okay you know, it’s was a harmless meme.so a few days ago I watched a video… idk from each country but the man was speaking English and criticizing something about Bolsonaro… so at some point, they show a picture of Bolsonaro wearing this hat and the guy says something like “Bolsonaro’s stupid hat”. Okay… I live in a country ruled by Bolsonaro, i don’t deserve more suffering. So let me tell you, this hat is one of the most traditional headpieces in Brazil (if not the most traditional), and it has been being wearing for over 100 years. It represents a whole part of the country (the northeast part) and stands as a symbol of its unique culture. It’s not a stupid hat, and it’s not something that you would just try out for fashion purposes.I am not saying that someone should know in-depth the culture of every single country around the world (i even find that to be humanly impossible), but if there’s something that you find so unusual that your first reaction is to judge that to be silly or stupid, chances are that that thing is just something out of your own culture, so why not consider this possibility? Why not take into consideration that in fact there’s a lot about the world you don’t know (and that’s okay), and maybe be more careful with your commentaries, especially if you intend to share them with a large number of people. -- source link
