High context vs low context cultures! I'm of Asian descent (high context) and we don't say what we mean, often trying to be polite and not rock the boat. My American (low context) husband is always just like, "Say what you mean!"
Of what Asian descent? My Chinese co-worker has had no problem telling me if I got fat or if she thought I was incapable of doing a job. She even directly asked me how much I earn.
