Amother aspect of the elephant in the room syndrome is the idsue of culture. What often begins as a legitimate pride im one’s cultural heritage often descends into . notions of supremacy .made worse if it is also buttressed by political or ecpnomic power however illgotten. . My own position as a so called multi ethnic helps me to identify narrow and one side views of culture and thus retain a healthy skepticism.
