Your remarks come out as really insensitive, although I don't think they were made with that intent. There is no possible way to imagine what it feels like to be in their situation.

The remarks weren't made with the intent of being cold and insensitive, though i admit i'm not the most sensitive of people.

edit: who knew asking about human/cultural behaviour was so frowned upon.

The problem for me was that it felt like the people were dehumanized and reduced to their culture in a situation which is so incredibly unique and must be so difficult to bear. This being said, maybe the issue is only that of timing and your question would be more pertinent later in time, after all the emotion has settled down.
