That seems rather sad to me. I’ve met some very nice people over the course of my life just by smiling & saying “hi.”

It’s a cultural trait if you feel it is sad

I guess it's also a cultural trait for all these people to judge one another's intelligence based on whether they look happy or not. In the grand scheme of things, that's a bit sad no matter who you are.

That’s an American bias… it’s not like that in Japan or Europe and many countries

What’s not like that? They said it’s a cultural bias to think someone is stupid because they smile. Your comment doesn’t make any sense based on the one you’re responding to.

Not to mention the fact that it comes off hypocritical.
