We were talking about arrange marriages in Hindu tradition (hes white english) and I said ''Well not everyone really has an arranged marriage anymore as I didnt have an arranged marriage. Nor did my parents''

He said he knew someone who had to have one, then said ''Maybe its just with wealthy families''

I said 'no, it depends on the family'' He again said ''Must be only if youre rich''.

Why was he so rude? He was basically insinuating that im poor?

  1. A lot of people can't stand to be wrong, so cover up their ignorance with attitude or rudeness.


  2. hes just trying to prove his point. men are that way my dear.

  3. Not rude. Rich people do arrange marriages with other rich families in India. He must have seen about the Mittal wedding.

  4. maybe he thinks it is only for the rich and does not know any better.

  5. He probably does not know a lot about your culture and was making assumptions and stereotypes that were not true or correct.

  6. Wow, you have really thin skin. Get a backbone.

    You should just chalk it up to his own ignorance instead of getting all offended about your personal wealth.

  7. get over it

    u know ur not poor so it doesnt matter if he says u are

    jeez

    if ur that confident about ur weird old religion it doesnt matter what people say

    sounds like lack of confidence to me

    uh ohh

    dont tell Shiva

  8. Sounds more ignorant than rude.

  9. he probably just didnt want to admit that he was wrong and sounded dumb. Just ignore him.

  10. Maybe the person he knows is from a wealthy family. This person might need to have an arranged marriage to be able to get an inheritance, dowry or something. Most men only have a one track mind. Your co-worker probably was so busy trying to figure it out the problem, that he did not realize how he was coming across. I would not let it upset me so much. You know your financial status and that is all that really matters.

  11. He thinks he knows everything, tell him to keep his mouth shut.
