[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone knows a thing or two about Latin cultures it’s NOT wrong to point out that there is a history of maschismo behavior among many Latin men and that goes with inferior treatment of women, particularly assertive women. There’s been a lot of sociological studies on this.

OP, as someone who hires help, if you aren’t getting respect from them, fire them. He may be cheap and even may do a good job, but if he isn’t treating you with respect it’ll just eat away at you. Not worth it. Better to find someone else even at a higher rate.

As someone familiar with American Culture, it is normal for white people to need their employees to paw at them with gratitude for hiring them, regardless of the poor salary. I like to call it the “Master Syndrome”. it’s NOT wrong to point out that there is a history of racism and xenophobic behavior among many white women and men particularly when it comes to Latino men, especially hardworking Latino men. There’s been a lot of sociological studies on this. [/quote]

OP here.  I should point out to you I come from Latin routes.  My mom (and consequently all my uncles) immigrated from Argentina.  I know the attitude all too well.  When  my mom was growing up, they weren't allowed to eat the dark meat on the chicken until after her dad came home and ate what he wanted.  Women are low in the pecking order...I even felt it from the standpoint of how my relatives treated my brothers relative to me and my sisters.  There is definitely a cultural aspect to this.  Hence, the Brazilian immigrant who can't take orders from a woman.  I totally think it is cultural.  I am not saying that every Latin American man is like this.  I know several who are not.  It may be related to education level as well.
