Poll: Do you dislike other cultures?

There's lots of talk about being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., but do you dislike other cultures? By that I mean do you dislike the language, attitudes, and styles of other people? You don't have to hate or dislike the people themselves, just the culture (not the fact that they live that way, the fact that you have to deal with it).

It doesn't have to be all other cultures, it can be just one or two. You can like all of them except for Southern culture or English culutre or whatever.
 
There's only one thing I dislike/hate, and it's hate. I hope someday the human race grows up and realizes that people are people, and we can all get along despite our cultural differences. I fear religion will prevent this from ever happening though. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with religion, it's just that in every religion there are crazies, intolerant to anything other than their beliefs. The actions of a few can have huge implications on the masses.
 
I hate the way Iranian people talk. They talk too loud and their language makes me want to kill someone. it annoys the hell out of me. When Iranian women speak farsi I want to seriously hit them. Some people can talk normal, but most of them are so loud.

I don't think that will ever happen. Even if people do get very friendly with each other, they will become complacent and someone will come along and use that for evil. I think that the best that humanity can do is partial tolerance of others.

Also remember that hating other people because of their culture and hating their culture are completely different things.
 
People from the south and the way they pronounce things and drop vowel sounds just annoys the f--k out of me! Docoments, ITS DOC-YOU-MENTS for crying out loud!
 
No. I am opposed to other cultures becoming influential within the US. I like saying I went to "*****" and was captivated by their culture but when I get home I want to be surrounded by "American" culture. Some will say there is no such thing or it is a constantly evolving melting pot but I don't agree. If it was we wouldn't have the word "americanized".
 
There are other cultures I find distasteful. There are some I see as self destructive and/or self deprecating.

The sad part is, people see this opinion as racist or bigoted when it is nothing of the sort.

nah, just yours😛
 
I don't dislike other cultures as long as they stay "other cultures" and don't try to change or influence the one I live in. Well... at least as long as they don't try to change it really quickly.

Every person who is a live is a culture of one and we all have an impact, but what I mean is groups trying to force their will onto society in order to change that society to what they want. Musilms in the Netherlands is a good example of what I'm talking about... not every Muslim there, but enough that it's been a problem for that society.
