Cultural sensitivity question

Note this is happening in America.

Do you think it is bad taste to ask a Bosnian Grocer to put up a flier for a Croatian artist?

Should a greengrocer of African-American descent sell watermelons?

No problem there. Would be a lot different if it was a Serbian artist, since it was the Serbians who attempted genocide on the Bosnians. I have a friend who is a Bosnian refugee. Her hatred for Serbians, who killed her parents, knows no bounds.

I could see how there might be some tension there, but you're right -- nothing like the animosity felt toward Serbians. The Croatians may well have been able to protect the Bosnians once their German/American supplied army was finally ready to go, but they chose not to bother. It was fun to see them to kick the crap outta those Serbian bastards to the extent they did.......

Hopefully they're Americans, not Bosnians, Croations, or whatever else. If they're Americans then it's a question of putting-up advertising of an American artist.

All that other crap needs to be left in the Balkans where it belongs.
