Excellent essay and free of slicing and dicing! A fab book to read is Return to Laughter about a white anthropologist who lived for a time in an African tribal village. She learned to appreciate and respect the culture she found herself in but she also learned not to devalue her own culture. Even in one's own country, one can experience culture shock. I experience it every day when I see the polls reflecting all this worship of Trump. I'm definitely from NY liberal culture and I'm happy to stay in it in this case.

As the USA is being flooded with cultures from around the world, you-they should respect our culture.
