Maybe there are some answers that were trying to be funny, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if all of these are real.

As far as cultures being stressed in education, that's tough. I do think that people need to learn that their culture is not The One Real Culture, or The Correct Culture but again, this is tough. A great many languages use words that identify members belonging to it as some version of "The People" or otherwise denote dominance. I'd love to see a real world solution, but other than direct exposure, I have no idea how that might be accomplished and certainly not a massive scale. It might help to teach people how to be more open to new things. Adaptability is a defining trait of our species after all.
