@big nero,

This statement suggests you are no better than the people you want to correct! Or do you feel uneasy because they mirror your exact image?!

You seem to be a "busy-body". Why don't you mind your business and do your job. You sell yourself short courting people for approval, and ending up insulted. Indians, for crying out loud.

@ big nero

To me you sound like the one who is racist! Why must one race be superior to the other angry

My brother you are just developing headache over nothing. It's not in their culture to greet the way we Africans greet. Ignoring your greetings does not mean that they hate you, they just didn't grow up like we did. Just let them be and continue to do your work. For example, we Nigerians can shake hands 2million times in a day with the same person but if you try to shake hands with a Frenchman a second time same day, he would tell you that he already gave you a handshake. Exceptions to this, are the ones that have gotten used to our naija style. smiley
