Now there seems to be a bit of excitement here about what Hendo has to say.

I personally thought his initial post was accurate, even if I don't think it's okay. Feet may have entered mouths since then, but I think the original idea was essentially ok.

IE, that cultures are different and that your familiar culture makes you happy. Other cultures are weird and make people unhappy. Whether or not this is okay is another topic altogether, but I agree that this will continue to be a source of tension as cultures collide.

I do also think there's a risk of ignoring culture completely, in an effort to be open minded and inclusive. I don't think this helps either. All people are a product of where they have come from and glazing over and averaging out these differences doesn't really help anyone.
