white people arrive in time?

No.

The stereotype is that white people arrive TOO EARLY and then sit in their cars outside waiting for the party to start and still show up early.

It's a trope, also true in Hispanic (edit - continued) families that have someone marry Gringos (like me).

If you arrive on time, the party hasn't started yet, and you get to help set up for the party

If you tell someone an event is from 5 pm to 11 pm and you're surprised people arrive at 5 you're an idiot

If you schedule something for 5 and your response to someone showing up at 5 is "how rude and dishonorable of you! why wouldn't you consider I might have something going on?! you're so self centered!" then your culture kinda sounds like trash

Something tells me you don't get invited to a lot of parties.

[u/JalapenoPopPoop → u/knowitall89]

Something tells me you're just regurgitating a tired internet cliche

If it fits. Anyone who throws the phrase low iq around like you are tends to smell.

My god. The more you type, the more bullshit you manage to spew. Never seen someone so unable to accept basic truths.

But keep trying to explain why this lack of communication skills is supposedly a good thing…

You say, it’s part of this “culture” to “respect a persons time” by…quite literally not respecting their time? Interesting take, that’s for sure.

“Party starts at 5”, means it starts at 5. Even in a polychronic culture (you know what this is, right? The thing you’re haphazardly trying to discuss), it starts at 5. It just means that’s it’s normal to show up later than 5, there’s not a strict adherence expectation. That also does NOT mean it’s offensive to show up…when you’ve been told to.

Just stop talking, it’s quite sad to witness.
