I don't know if it's because I'm Hispanic but I was taught to respect and slightly fear my parents. The idea of talking back was not an idea it wasn't even a dream. You just didn't do it! It was interesting for me as a child of Salvadorean parents, people who left their country but not their culture, to watch how American culture portrayed their children in television. I could not perceive why they would say "I hate you" that was so not ok. Hate is a strong word, and it hurt MY feelings to even tell my mom "I don't like you right now". The way Hispanic culture is portrayed in Vines by Oscar Miranda and Jay Mendoza and all this Hispanic-american generation has made it seem is pretty accurate. They present the problems growing up Hispanic with an american influence that we can't seem to understand. I do have to be honest I do sometimes yell at my parents and argue with them, but this I have only started to do since I became an adult and somehow the relationship with my parents shifted in a level way. But lets be honest, we all want to smack the little shit who is always being an ass to his parents.
BTW: if you want to see what I was talking about this is Oscars vine link
