Bah , they are both weird cultural rituals that have a psychological effect on the collective consciousness of our respective societies, the specifics are irrelevant.
Unless your worldview is informed by xenophobia. Then the specifics suddenly take on spectacular significance.
Then it's:
"You break your egg on the big end, we break it on the small end. Yaarrr dirty foreigner!"

You'd think after all this back and forth, you'd actually have looked up the definition of xenophobia at least once by now.
Is it racist if you make the simple observation that poor white kentuckians have horrible dental health, and that it's an objectively negative cultural trait? You can't call it xenophobic, because there's no xeno. Try not to pee on yourself contemplating this brain-buster.
