Do you think that some cultures are better than other cutlures?

74. Diet or other particulars aside, the majority culture claims accommodation rights to demand minority

cultures' accommodations to them -- at least in the public sphere. This is my frame for "better." I'm not sure if any are "better," but that's up to the populations that adhere to different cultural norms.

Whether the majority's forced cultural accommodations in the public sphere eventually change hearts and minds of the minority culture in the private sphere predicts whether or not cultural segregation or overall cultural blending will evolve in the public sphere.

Liberal Westerners often count on that happening, and believe that one generation will have to pass before minority cultures blend in with majority cultures. I think, however, it depends on the rigidity of minority cultural enforcements.

Religious segregation is the tough 'cultural' nut to crack, since its particularly rigid with Muslims.
