[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Asian American in DC and have seen this with kids and parents of all backgrounds. I think it’s the current aloof culture of social media, screens, headphones, pandemic isolation, social anxiety and general entitlement. Prepandemic I also saw it in millennial and gen z coworkers who would freak out if you approached their cubicle to ask them a question face to face. Again, not all, but many were like this. [b]It is frigid and off putting.[/b] [/quote] +1000[/quote] Yes to this. My 11 year old (biracial, B/W, for all those concerned with race here) has been taught to make eye contact, greet people, and ask at least one question or make one comment beyond the standard "How are you?" or "It's nice to see you" when & where appropriate.[/quote]
