Hate Speech
Conversation Partnering # 11
Isabella says that the most people targeted by hate speech are other Spanish speakers that are non-Mexicans, like people from Guatemala or Cuba, and white people and gays. She said she didn’t think there was any specific law agents hate speech they just didn’t do it in public. She said thought that a level of races was allowed, that it was just accepted.
In Persia however we only make fun of the Turks, Kurds, ands Arabs. But they are always used in comedy. Like Turks are all stupid and Kurds are all from the country and are low lifes. There are very large generalizations. As fare as I know there are no the only real hate speech is about America and Arabs. And I know for a fact that there is no law agents hate speech. As long as you don’t talk about the government you can talk about anything else.

Isabella tried to explain this to be but I still don’t understand it. She says in Spanish they use a O for a guy and a A for a girl and when they want to muscular something they use el and when they want to feminize something they use a al. and instead of saying her or him they use a lot of them. There was also this thing with past, present, and future and depending how you use it the word changes.
How ever in Farsi we don’t have any of that, what’s there is there and it makes no differences how you say it or who says it. We use a lot of he, she, them and they.

I asked Isabella if she thought Mexican was a argument culture and she said no. then I asked her who can publicly speak and she said it was both men and women, but even thought it was about equal the still see men as more superior. When I asked her about the norms she said that you could argue with your peers as much as you wanted but you never argued with your parents and if you did you couldn’t yell, only the one with more authority could yell, and the parents always got the last word.
In Persian society however I think we are an argument culture. But since we are a Muslim country women don’t always get the right to speak publicly. Our norms are the same however bemuse you can yell all you want but you never yell at your elders.
