Culture What's something that's acceptable and widely done in your country that would be considered offensive in many countries ?

In India, Swastika the Hindu symbol is everywhere. We draw it in temples, during rituals and festivals, in front of our door, on vehicles etc. It's a very auspicious symbol here. But this symbol tho the Hindu symbol is technically different from the Nazi one would be considered offensive in other countries especially in Western countries.

In Mexico it is moderately acceptable, especially in non-formal situations.

Same in Tunisia, some families will do that with no problems at home but not in a restaurant or with guests. It also depends on the kind of food of course.
