In one word, no, I don't think it's wrong to not like your parents' culture.

Well, for myself it's not so much my parents culture - but their lifestyle and what they believe I couldn't be any more opposite. You are your own person, with your own belief system and values.

What works for your parents, may not necessarily work for you.

Lots of people don't want to raise their families or live their lives the way their parents prescribe
This is perfectly normal and adaptive
So don't feel like you're "doing evil" by making your own healthy personal choices
Your parents eyes aren't in the sky looking down on you at all hours of the day like you may guiltily think they are
As soon as you hit 18, 21, 30, whatever adult age... YOU'RE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee
And you don't have to take anybody's bull crap!

He was doing the same thing yesterday under another name. It's super confusing.
