Rubbish. Here in Salem, Oregon, we have an annual World Beat Festival, where people from every imaginable country join in the festivities, sharing their cultural traditions with all the rest of us. If your new neighbor comes from another culture, bring them some cookies and get to know them, person to person. You will soon find out that despite our cultural differences, we all want the same basic things: peace, tolerance, love, and a safe place to raise our children.
