Culture is a very ambiguous concept to discuss, culture can be almost anything, and despite the talk about cultural diversity I believe we are becoming more homogeneous with globalization, so only minimal cultural differences will persist

I hate the word "cultural". It makes excuses for tribalism. There is not one group on the face of the planet that is not out for the same thing. It is a watered down version of religious and political grouping. I am under no illusions that humans wont disagree or flock to like minded people. I am however tired of the notion that labels magically make us out for different things. We are all out for the same thing.
But culture exists, I'm sure there's culture you enjoy, like music, literature or other forms of art. I don't see the problem with labels, labels identify people. Labels make us different the same way holding a different job makes us different, we are all different to an extent, the only thing we all have in common is that we are all humans
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
