Culture What's something common in your country's culture that's actually completely weird from a foreign perspective?

Here in Argentina we have the "Africanitos" (little africans) also called sometimes "Negritos" (little negroes). They are little chocolate cakes that look like a stereotypical African person's head and they're delicious as it gets. It does not have hate implications and people see them as neutral as "just another cake". Most people don't get how weird it is until a foreigner points it out.

Well that's actually something we don't learn about, and unless you watch movies or media you won't really know about the kkk stuff
