[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been reading through this forum and have noticed a concerning trend of negative attitudes towards American cultural norms, like the tradition of taking a husband's last name, which is embraced by approximately 85% of women in the U.S. This practice is more than just a tradition; it's an integral part of our social and family structure.

Your participation in these discussions, marked by a dismissive stance towards American customs, is troubling. It's crucial to understand that expressing such negativity, especially in public forums, can have serious implications for your integration into American society. [b]This attitude and visible disdain towards the U.S. could also adversely affect your visa status and the process of obtaining a green card.[/b]

While it's important to maintain your personal identity and beliefs, showing respect for the customs of your host country is essential when living in a new community. Publicly insulting these traditions can be seen in a negative light, possibly impacting your efforts to adapt to life in the U.S.

I encourage you to reconsider your approach and engage with cultural differences respectfully. Your experiences and viewpoints are important, but so is demonstrating a willingness to understand and integrate into the cultural context of your new home.[/quote]

I am a birthright United States citizen and your thinly veiled Trumpist threats about my “green card” don’t scare me. They are also an embarrassment to the idea of America as a nation of laws. Get bent.[/quote]

I understand the need for a respectful and constructive discussion, and I appreciate your perspective on this matter. It's essential to maintain a respectful tone and avoid political attacks, as this conversation is about cultural practices and traditions.

However, there seems to be some confusion in your previous posts. You mentioned "in your country" when discussing naming traditions, which led to the assumption that you might have had experiences in another country. If you are a birthright United States citizen, that's perfectly fine, and there's no need to present different perspectives.

Let's focus on the cultural aspects and traditions we are discussing without delving into political discussions or attacks. It's important to engage in open and respectful dialogue to better understand each other's viewpoints and foster a productive conversation. Additionally, please refrain from bringing up political references as they are not relevant to this conversation.[/quote]
