Answer 7

No. Stick with the central theme of Yes, ma'ams and sirs.

If you're writing a fictional short story, you may be able to allude to Emmet Till, an African American boy vacationing in the South, who did not show proper respect in 1955.

Consider a friend of mine who moved here as a child from Korea. There, children were not supposed to look an adult in the eyes, but keep their eyes downcast. She had to learn to look teachers in the eyes here. :-)
