Only Anglo cultures (and those who were influenced by Anglo cultures) have that rule where it’s not your niece and nephew. I’m half Filipino and live in Miami. Every other culture - Polynesian, Latin, Caribbean, African, Asian, etc - it’s your niece and nephew. Familial relation is designated by generational proximity. Not parentage.
