One racial group may have multiple cultural groups. South Central LA is not the South Bronx and is definitely not the Deep South. Three black men, one from each of these locations, may have some radically different cultural norms. That is the core of the problem. No matter what, a question will be answered by some culture wrong. And as some cultures are stereotypically linked to some races, the problem spirals into insanity. And lets not even think of religion. What does a Jew know about the term good samaritan? What does a follower of Eris think of authority? What does a luddite know of computers? (yes, there are modern luddites) How are these groups to answer? Oy
