Its still not clear what you are saying. Can one person learn from another person? Sure, but that doesnt seem to be what you are talking about. Do cultures meet, clash, and exchange things and ideas? Sure, but that doesnt seem to be what you are talking about. The idea that diversity is automatically good, and that just because someone is different or comes from a different culture then they have something to offer you, has yet to be shown. Difference, in and of itself, is not a positive. Im curious, you appear to be on the left politically, do you have any alt right or far right friends? If not, why not, since the things you are saying applies equally in that situation. Can you give me a specific personal example (without giving any identifying detail) where having a friend from another culture enriched you? Ideally, something that you think you wouldnt have learned or gained from a person of the same culture as you. If you disagree with the above, I'm curious why you think there is no value in understanding other cultures. Im not saying that. But I am wondering why you are saying that it is inherently good to embrace difference. |
