Just wanted to preface that this is purely coming from a place of curiosity as opposed to distain or anything similar.
So for some context, my entire family are white Australians, however my mum recently got engaged with a man who happens to be a second generation Indian immigrant. Love the guy and haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary with him, however the few times I’ve met his family I’ve noticed that not all but a good chunk of them are quite… fond? of staring, espically the kids and older women. my sister and her friend has also complained to me about the same thing.
As a kid I was raised that staring was incredibly rude, however a lot of them will stare deadpan at me as I pass them or they pass me, and not wanting to sound disrespectful but as someone with bad anxiety it makes me quite nervous they’re judging or silently expressing a dislike for me.
But I have heard that some things can mean two entirely different things in different cultures. So that’s why I’m asking this question before jumping to conclusions.
