Cultural expectations taken by surprise totally bizarre

[Rachie]

This should never happen. It happened to me around 2004 when I was trying to get my medical records from one hospital. I submitted my request forms and I included a photograph of myself taken just a couple of years earlier. I was called at home and then I remember being called again. I was asked was I the person in the photo as I spoke pretty much European-white. I said yes it was me, I am not European but of a different descent. I was so shocked.
This is not the first time I have heard of such a thing. I had cousins telling me I was only 2 percent of my parents country of origin by blood line basically. It is not important. I am a human being.
There were some issues one volume as abroad they tended in the markets quite a number and not everyone but average tones was higher than mine. To sit in some areas forces the use of protectors as you do not wish to ask them not to speak and I try and cope more with higher field exchanges.

Some may be surprised when I go places to see someone of my descent when my hobbies as well some even siblings have said boats? I have always loved it. I get ribbed on traditional meals to.

Perhaps interesting and in light jest.

Such inquires may seem innocent, but they usually have very specific purpose while often "skirting" various legal considerations. Likely beyond "cultural expectations".

Sometimes involving the sort of business policies that are seldom written down, but simply passed along verbally to employees.

Thank you, something to think about for sure.

Things can be so strange. Sometimes when you are involved in interests that are not seen as typical to your culture you can wonder who some people may think may turn up and get a surprise when you meet them.

I have gone into supermarkets years ago and pulled aside by the checkout assistant over my card and my surname as it is not fitting their expectation and left staggered why I was being asked. I don't fit their defintions at all and neither do any of my siblings.

When you need defenders though on people from your kin lets say it is too biazzre to say and something else.

This is also like a situation in truth where it is only me that can say this and it be fine and that in itself is not right. Some people to will have the best of intentions but will be judged as not acceptable. Only from your own some things can be spoken.

There is not anyone who I have emnity with. I don't know why this is for sure but my parents mum and dad who didn't grow where I did speak in a much higher tone than all my siblings. I've been to my country of origin perhaps 4 times and know of their friends lets say quite a few through life. Large numbers of their friends are similar but not all at all. I never need defenders with my siblings unless in a larger group and the sound multiples. What can be bad as well when anyone with a volume to their tones and they come in all descriptions come into your sight and put a personal phone call when you are overwhelmed onto loudspeaker. The volume can increase. I never heard of it having to use defenders on anyone just one on one to bare a tone and enjoy their visit for the both of you.

Life eh.
