Americans.........

I wasn't talking about eggplant or restroom. I didn't say everythjng being laughed about mate.
On one hand you're highlighting man hugs to say hello as racist because you say it's the African American community who mainly do it and then on the other hand it sounds like you're upset about 'members on here' pulling up racism in the past, like members pulling up racism on here is bad in your mind?
Just a weird post all around. Anyway I'm off to water the eggplant in the restroom.

Give it a hug for me
 
Not really. The thread was talking about Americans and the prevalence of men hugging, especially with the clapping on the back comes from the African American community for Americans. Had the thread been discussing that subject for Ireland, Scotland, parts of Portugal, etc I could see your point. If you need me to walk you through some other examples I could do that.

It was a decent effort on your part though.
You're the one that presumed it was down to one country and ethnic group within said country, completely ignoring the fact that shaking hands is an American tradition that's only taken root in Europe in recent times, nice effort though.
 
I am assuming your exposure to Irish Americans is rather limited. I don't typically see non related men hugging hello. There probably are some that do it but I'd say it is limited.

Nice try though.
Tis. Limited to friends once outside family. At least that's the case with our relatives over there. Nice try though.
