New York City

It's one thing to compare a woman wearing a hijab to the victims of 9/11, but when you make up the story about a person that doesn't live in the US it's multiple levels more despicable.
I thought his “crying” during the press conference was bull$hit to begin with, but that’s sociopathic behavior.

Interesting. In South Asian cultures those people are all aunties and plenty of non-blood relatives are too

To each their own I guess. Other than the 2 that were older than my mom and dad and my moms next younger brother I didn't address any of my actual aunts and uncles with anything other than their 1st names.

I agree, and I think a lot of people just say aunt/uncle to skip all of that
I think that is confusing because what would you then call your dad's aunt that is the mother to your dad's female cousin that you call "aunt"?

"cousin" is what my family does. not technically correct, but easier than trying to remember if they are second cousins or once removed or whatever.

changing the relation completely seems the most confusing option. but that is one person/cultures answer.

Isn't a dad's aunt a great-aunt or something anyway? For me it's less confusing to call everyone at my parents' level, whether it's their brothers or their cousins, "uncle/aunt." I know which ones are the actual siblings
