Why are Latin Americans more resentful of being hit than being knifed or shot at?
In the 1920s, James Maitland, a British expert on Latin America, made the following statement on local customs: "There is one thing you must never do to a Latin American, unless you know him extremely well. Never pull his leg. He doesn't understand it: he takes it as an insult. There's another thing too. You stick a knife into one—or shoot him up—and he'll understand it. You hit him with your fist on the jaw and he'll never forgive you." Why is it so?

Atheists, why is the Yanomami tribe considered the most violent people on earth? They do not have Christianity there? Hmm.?
The Yanomamis are an ethnic group composed of 20,000 to 30,000 indigenous people who live in the rainforest. The live pretty much shut off from the rest of the world
--The Yanomami have a haughty and warlike character,[4] and when they kill they acquire the social status of unokai. The more warlike ones, who manage to kill more enemies, have greater prestige and more women.
--Mothers either welcome her newborn or kills the baby by burying them alive. Infanticide is practiced to eliminate children born with defects, or as a form of sex selection
--One of the most primitive customs of this ethnic group is the practice of ritual cannibalism: in a collective and sacred ritual funeral, they incinerate the corpse of a dead relative and eat the ashes of their bones, mixing them with “pijiguao” paste

If my parents are both Colombian and I am American, would I be an American or a Colombian?
Favourite answer:Your nationality is American. Your heritage is Colombian. You can identify any way you want. Most Americans have heritage from somewhere else- some in recent past, and some in the far past. People often ask about your heritage because it's interesting to talk about.
