Are you familiar with any subcultures or ethnic minorities

1) Are you familiar with any subcultures or ethnic minorities? Do you yourself belong to one? Do you think you could befriend or marry someone from another subculture? What kind of issues would you be likely to encounter if you did so?
2) As noted in your reading, culture is based on symbols. What is a symbol of your culture (or subculture) and what does it signify?
3) People in all cultures across the world display ethnocentrism, but some more so than others. Considering today’s globalization (as described in Chapter 1), do you think ethnocentrism poses more of a problem than in the past? What are the negatives of ethnocentrism? Are there any positives? (If so, what might they be?)
