As I'm sure you've figured out, the "Asu" described in the excerpt I posted yesterday are Americans, and a "rac" is just a car spelled backwards. What is interesting about this article is that the very anthropological language (the first time I read it, I thought it was a National Geographic piece about some pre-Columbian civilization) leads you to think "wow, what a bizarre custom. You'd think they would realize how damaging this tradition is!" That's a pretty common reaction - have you felt this way before when traveling abroad (or even within the US! more on US regional cultures later) or when interacting with someone with a different cultural background? What aspects of American culture might our clients find particularly odd or quaint?
