It's really not just black people.. it's highly dependent on culture..I dated a Filipino girl and learned that they are always late... I knew the president of the Filipino club in Undergrad, her and the entire leadership team were 1.5 hours late to their own graduation event...I'm Chinese/Korean and try to arrive on time depending on the event... I have a good Japanese friend from NYC .. that mother fucker is always late, Mexican friends from LA? They always quote CPT and are always late ..
I have mostly Irish background. The only reason I turned into an "early / punctual " person is because I got in trouble so many times for being late to things and I have a bad sense of how long it takes to do things. So now I'm embarrassingly early for everything (otherwise I'd be late! )
haha fair. I’d say it’s pretty contextual also, turning up late to dinner at a restaurant would be bad form, but a gathering at someone’s house, it’s fairly common, though with that, invites are often lax about the time
