Whitey - I think it got the point across well ! :)

If you ordered food from a restaurant in Big Gay Paris, who compromises? The
dude expects you to
have made the effort, so you have to order in the local tongue. Otherwise
the face gets pulled & the
interest in your order wanes.. (from previous experience! :)

Seems pretty one-way too, but I think entirely fair & I don't see it as
prejudice - it's about making
the effort. I think compromises HAVE to be made when it comes to
communication, in order to
'tune-in' to each other, but that does not render each party
transparent/devoid of culture.

  Forget the lazy characterizations, please, they're not applicable here.

  I was simply posing the question: if one person feels there is no
impediment to communication, and another does, should Person A simply accede
to Person B's convenience? What compromise do you recommend? Person A
removes the veil, and Person B does their best to understand? Not much of an
equal compromise, is it? Person A changes, Person B doesn't have to do
anything?

    So, in fact, the whole thing is whitey's problem & there's no compromise
required? Give And Take.
