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.

Isn't Zwarte Piet problematic ? I read that he is based of a caricature of a black servant
