8. I also think they've been exposed to many cultures other than theirs.
I grew up in a small town just north of Pittsburgh, Pa. In that area there were five small towns clustered next to each other, but each one had a factory of some kind where almost everyone worked. There were people who NEVER left their own little town, and all they knew were their experiences and people who were their close neighbors. Most humans are afraid of the unknown. I'd bet few if any of them had ever actually met a black family, because none lived in any of those little towns. I never met anyone who was black until I got my first job in Downtwon Pittsburgh.
