Tolerate:
I'm not saying Americans don't respect elders. It's just that you won't find Indians calling their elders by their first name now, will you? *We use the word 'aap' for our elders while americans have only one word 'you'. *Westerners shake hands, however, our greeting with 'namaste' (na-mas-TAY) (placing both hands together with a slight bow) is appreciated and shows respect for Indian customs.
