In the end, it doesn't matter who you are. They simply say that if you refuse to adjust to their culture, than please just go back to where you came from and happily practice your own culture where it's appreciated.
The thing is that we are taught about multi-cultural societies and in it giving every type of individual their own rights and their own priviledges. However, not every country is a multi-cultural society. A lot of people make the mistake in thinking that such makes us the more advanced or the better developed society, and that it's okay for us to bring our ways with us wherever we go. But the truth is we're just different, not better. The moment we arrive there, they will teach us their ways and we best accept or turn around and leave.

She was beaten and raped and everyone just looked the other way and said the man had the right to do that. It was disgusting. |
What a despicable guy that must be to lure her away from her own culture for THAT...
