My point is...
So what if it had been voodoo? Why would he need to know that? What business would it be of his?
If you saw someone in front of a cross, would it really be your business to ask if they were praying or not? Would it concern you enough that you needed to know?
And for another thing...
Just because "everything is voodoo" out here doesn't mean it's not allowed to make me angry! Just because it's culturally acceptable doesn't mean that it's the right attitude to have. Why is it that everything unexplainable or unfamiliar has to be "voodoo" or "cursed" or evil? Why can't it just be what it is?
I don't mind people asking questions, but once they've assumed that they are in a positional to label it before they even know what it is I'm doing, then I've assumed the right to label them ignorant.
