I mean, I don't think I ever heard it brought up in a regular conversation or anything, but knowing at least what a dowry is is pretty regular historical knowledge. Nowadays it's more of an asian thing, but it also used to be common in western civilisations and is brought up in history classes quite commonly.
These aren't just "menial jobs" these are SMEs with easy six figure turnovers.
There is also the fact that most leftist parties in the West have had decades long patron-client relationships with Muslim minority groups e.g. Labour in Britbongistan being the party of Pakis and Bangladeshis.
Now you're behaving like a retarded nigger. Dowries are not some super obscure bits of historical knowledge you fucking moron- but an universally known fact.
You know, this is probably where I got my misconception from that it is the husband that has to pay up, not the wife's family.
Nigger we know you were asleep during history lessons but there's no need to take it out on us.
It's just historical knowledge for Europe and just general cultural knowledge. I know a lot of weird-ass things about other cultures, doesn't mean I belong to them. I know there are some rainforest tribes that practice insane manhood rituals, like wearing bullet ant gloves, or tying a rope to your legs and jumping off a tower trying to estimate the rope length just so you barely don't hit the ground. Doesn't mean I'm a tribal, just that I had Discovery Channel on a few times.
This is how dowry worked in Poland as well- the bride got a big ass chest with embroidered bed linens, sewing supplies, night gowns, pans and pots etc; all of these things were there to make the newlyweds' life easier as they wouldn't have to buy all of that crap in one go.
For what's it worth, i thought the same way as you and always thought india is backwards in that regards, too. Made sense to me that the man has to prove himself as capable of providing but i forgot how dire the situation for women was in pretty much all of world history.
I'm in a major bug hive and i'm almost happy that our version of 7/11 and other 24/7-open stores are all staffed and owned by turks, arabs and the odd persian, many employing ethnic germans as well. None of that "I'm indian owner, store is now india, saar" bullshit. At least i can understand what the turks and arabs are saying. Gas stations, curiously enough, are firmly in white hands with almost exclusively german staff or younger turks/arabs who were born here. I'd still prefer all the non-whites to just go back to where they came from
Weak, smelly indian can't assert himself/herself (i'm not sure what that thing in the pic is), i think most anyone had this situation happen before and if you actually let them steal your money you are a bitch. Firm rule on tipping for me is it's solely related to good service and not because "you just do it", fuck financing some strangers life just out of custom. Trying to steal from me is the opposite of good service. I had this happen most often at asian places where they always tried to play it off as a language barrier thing. Nah bitch, you know what you were doing.
Absolutely, i make no differences between pakis and poos. All equally worthless.
As for this, i know about dowries because it is just common knowledge, i don't know why that other poster makes it out like only shitskins would know about it.
Apparently you can only know about cultural things if it's something that your own culture does at the moment.
Or a yank. Please don't shoot me, America
Of course they're the same, Pakistan and Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) were only created when the British Raj ended.
