Have you, out of ignorance of a person's culture, asked a question or made a statement that was considered rude by them?

Update:

Did they treat you with kindness and explain so you don't make the same mistake?

Did they represent their culture by name-calling, rudeness and heap upon you the sins of your entire racial/religious/cultural group?

Did they represent their culture with dignity and wisdom, or whine and complain while you stood willing to correct the mistake after the first word?

Share your experiences.

Mine was recently involving a fictional story trying to represent Native Americans accurately.

    Probably -- but I'm too rude to notice or care.
