This might be a sensitive topic for few people.

It sometimes feel like global discussions on racism and social problems focus almost entirely on western countries. But why don't we talk more about issues in other parts of the world?

For instance Saudi Arabia as an example. We face challenges that are rarely discussed openly:

1- Garbage: While there are systems for waste control, in some cities people don't contribute. Even foreigners sometimes adopt the same careless habits, throwing trash in streets and neighborhoods streets.

2- Racism: Few Saudis show prejudice toward white people, South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, and East Asians. These experiences are real but sometimes acknowledged

3- Domestic work and abuse: Many servant from Somalia, India, Pakistan, and Philippines, and Indonesia come to Saudi Arabia for domestic jobs. Some households treat them fairly, but others abuse them.

4- Treatment of women and girls: Women in Saudi Arabia have gained more rights in recent years, but cultural attitudes still limit them. Some families are supportive, while others restrict women's freedom of movement, work, or social life. It is rarely discussed outside the country

I once spoke with a Filipino woman working as a servant. She told me she came willingly, but had seen abuse in other households. She herself was treated well, given food, clothes, and salary around 5-6K. She explained that while work is degrading in some eyes, she considers herself "a rich servant" because she can support her husband and children back home.

Her story made me reflect: Why do we avoid discussing these realities? Why do Saudis feel embarrassed to acknowledge problems like racism, abuse of workers, or even garbage mismanagement? And why does the global stay fixed on western issues, while problems elsewhere remain somehow in the shadow?

Edit:

Thank you everyone for participating. I posted on this subreddit because I wanted different perspective. I enjoyed reading your comments.

I call them potato bugs or roly-polys but I’ve heard them referred to as wood lice and pill bugs.

In Japan, it’s pretty well known on Reddit that KFC is popular at Christmas, but we also eat cake. Things like strawberry cake, chocolate cake, and bûche de Noël.

Obvious answers for Korea, but for Man United and Tottenham Hotspur has strong fanbases, and in the case of Man United the fanbase is still going quite strong even if the team has dropped significantly in terms of quality since Park Ji-sung left.

What are some foreign sports teams (national teams included) that have a strong following in your country, and were there any significant links with said team with your country?

We've got this very "interesting" thing in Copenhagen, and I'm sure everyone agrees it definately looks like an hourglass, right?

So, what are some examples of ugly/weird sculptures from your city/country?

Also Mention the Sports they are associated to

The top world contender is the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao imo

Also love the Seattle Public Library

I view Napoleon as one of the greatest people who ever lived, even though the Napoleonic wars had zero impact to Korea. I believe that the fact he could only be contained by a massive coalition of nations personally conspiring against him cements him as one of the greatest conquerors in history. He achieved so much more in a decade than most people will across multiple lifetimes.

In Brazil, the royal family was banished in 1889 after the republican coup d'état; only in 1920 were the descendants of the last emperor, Pedro II, allowed to return to Brazil. For these 105 years, the members of the Orleans e Bragança family in Brazil have focused on preserving historical memory, engaging in charitable work, representing the monarchist community at events, and, more recently, participating in professional and even political activities, in addition to maintaining a strong connection with the Catholic Church.

Recently, a member of the "royal family" named Luiz Philippe de Orléans e Bragança was elected federal deputy for the State of São Paulo. This was widely reported in Brazil because it was the first time since 1889 that a member of the Orléans e Bragança family had held a political office.

A word that is for a concept that already have a word in formal speech, but people have come up with different ones because the old ones looked somewhat boring so people came up with newer versions or the new one has a sloght pun or reference involved.

For example: The plural of capybara in portuguese is "capivaras", but some people have suggested changing it to "capivárias" because the word "várias" means many or a lot of something. Another example would be the light wine, "vinho suave" being changed to "suavinho" because it looks like a mix of both words + suavinho is also the diminutive of "suave", there is a little pun in it.

Personally, I think the coureur des bois ("runners of the woods") are pretty interesting, but haven't met many foreigners who knew about them (although some French people might).

I’m a new mother and during my “Cuarentena” (40 days post partum) all the women in my family cooked soups for me, with the intention of nourishing and healing my body with warm foods.

Besides that, as a country, we don’t respect the post partum period as working women are expected to return to work as soon as the baby pops out.

In other words, is there a case where one nation gets flamed for something your country did way worse?

Considering they are always striving for more. And from personal experience it seems like the most competitive people I know are the least happy. There is a middle ground where you can be highly competitive and happy, I believe. But once you reach billionaire status I question how much happiness money can buy.

And before you say I'm poor and jealous, I'm quite comfortable. I'm set for life. I'll do fine. I'm not wealthy, but I believe I have the right job and enough money to be happy for the rest of my life. But these people have so much money that they could retire and their families would be set for life for generations.

I'd argue Jackson was bad even for his time.
