Cultural sensitivity

Well, probably everyone who is reading my blog during this period of my life knows that at this very moment I'm living my life-challenging experience in land of magic - India. And as well, you probably know that here I'm living in crappy intern's house with several more people. All of them are very special, each of them is unique and representing not only different culture, but also different personal life style. Some of us like to party a lot, others prefer to sleep whole day and kill unique moments that they are having in this country, some us prefer to work 24 hours per day and not do anything else except it. I can understand that it depends only on personal goals for this internship as well as life priorities. I can understand everything. So, than, why none wants to understand me???? My personal goals, my personal priorities???

A?? Tell me?

Why all this people in our house are talking soooooo much about cultural sensitivity and at the same time they don't want to do even a small thing like washing dishes after themselves or throwing garbage into the garbage bag and not ON it? How they allow themselves to say that India is the biggest racist country in the world, when they been only in Chandigarh and whole day they are just sleeping in their bed and doing completely nothing??? A???? Tell me?

Maybe I'm stupid and I can't get something crucial about that FUCKING CULTURAL SENSITIVITY? Maybe I'm asking too much from people around me? Maybe Wikipedia or Google are bullshiting about it's definition? Or maybe people who were 5-6 years in AIESEC and travelled whole world and have friend, true friends in every country, taught me some different definition of this term?

Being here for 2 months I never said even a word that might heart other nation, maybe I was saying rude things about specific person, yes, I know that I have this in my character. I know that and that's why I'm not disagreeing about that, but I NEVER EVER said something intolerant or culturally non-sensitive to people with whom I'm living with or to Indians that I'm surrounded here every day. So, why do I need to here that? As well, I never judged people for their behaviour here, especially about their personal life. If they prefer to have one-night-stand, it is their choice, if they are striving for long-term relationship with Indians, with other interns, as well, it is their choice. So, than why they are judging me? If they are excepting my attitude with such a big gratefulness?

Than why do I need to feet in THEIR standards of proper behaviour? Why I can't have the same attitude that I'm showing to them? Why every time I need to find excuses about alcohol that I'm drinking and people with whom I'm hanging out here? Because for them I'm looking like alcoholic and easy-picked up girl? Why can't they be a bit more open minded? Or simply not to look on me through their stereotypes?

As I see the see the situation right now is that people are playing with the term of cultural sensitivity. They are using it n the way that is more comfortable for them.
When they are doing some shit, they want to make themself pure and innocent, when I'm fighting with them I hear such kind of reply: "Yulia, you are not understanding, we are all from different countries, from different cultures.You need to be more tolerant to us!"


If you want me to act with you culturally sensitive, please act like the same with me and stop making your stupid remarks about me drinking alcohol and people with whom I'm hanging out here! As well, stop pleasing messing up around not to disturb other people around you!
