Why are people so ignorant?

I was blasting Dancehall/reggae music (and in Spanish too) and then this my friends Jamaican friend was telling me that I’m finally getting seasoned/cultured. He said something along the lines (look at you playing listening to my cultures music)  I was playing Panamanian music, It’s heavily influenced by Afro-Caribbean style 

so I don’t understand why he would say something like that. Even though Panamanians speak Spanish (a lot them speak English too), a lot of the slang contains Jamaican patois. I just don’t understand how people can be so ignorant.
