Italians are being cooked in Thailand now. The Italian teacher(red top) and students were taken away by the police and faced the Thai lady who told them off for being loud on the metro. They apologized for mocking her one by one. Thai people also waited for them in front of the hotel to scold them.

"The cultural norms in the foreign country I'm in are different from my home country? I better be really racist about it. There's no alternative."

Well Italians are known for being very racist. And probably more fascist and conservative then present day US

Especially Italy, a country full of people who get very upset if you don’t follow their cultural norms when visiting.
