This is a delicate situation, and I appreciate you bringing cultural context into it it really does matter. When I’m in a similar spot, especially with someone older or someone I respect, I try to ask open-ended questions that gently challenge their assumptions rather than directly correcting them. Something like, “That’s an interesting take have you ever come across X perspective?” It can invite dialogue rather than confrontation. Also, sharing a personal experience or story that subtly introduces the correct information can be a more respectful way to inform. Sometimes, just planting the seed is enough. Change doesn’t always happen instantly, especially in sensitive dynamics.
