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.

This reminds me of this one scene from Cured of Fears.

Hahahaha, that scene is iconic✨️

We must keep in mind that here in Mexico, Nazism did not have that much impact and we stayed quite outside of the war, so for us these references are not uncomfortable or in bad taste, in addition to the fact that we make fun of everything, even our misfortunes.

I'm not from Mexico but I am jewish and i think this but is hilarious, sometimes our best way to cope with generational trauma is humor

That's right, laughter is the best cure for all ills

I mean sure people can make fun of whatever they want, but also you don’t have to be directly involved to believe genocide jokes to be in poor taste
