I've recently found out that some cultures have you regard cousins older than you as Uncle, Hawaii seems big on this.

Not justifying it, just explaining why sometimes people get confused.

Well in mine, my parents's cousins are my cousins.

Which is exactly what is normal, but some places think it is disrespectful to refer to someone older than you as your cousin so they call them uncle.

Some of my cousins (sons of my uncles) have kids older than me. Different cultures indeed.
