Culturally Unaware

A detailed Summary of Culturally Unaware

I was planning to take a leisurely trip this summer, but now I think

I'll have to change my plans. Instead I'll probably have to take a crash

course in Sensitivity for the Culturally Unaware. Maybe it's because I grew

up in Chicago, perhaps the most culturally diverse city in the country.

Maybe it's because I have a mulatto niece and nephew. Maybe it's because my

cousin's last name is now Hernandez. Maybe it's because my wife's cousin

is a Native American. Or maybe it's because we Poles have borne the brunt

of more jokes than any other ethnic group, but all this time I thought I

was aware of other cultures and the feelings of members of other ethnic

groups and minorities. Now I guess I'm not. At least my union newsletter,

the BEA_Messenger, says I'm not in an article on multicultural awareness. I

for one take pride in our nation's history in regard to minorities.

Minority groups founded this nation. The religious groups who felt the

pressure of persecution in their homelands came here to begin new lives,

and eventually a new nation. The ethnic groups that came in a great flood

of immigrants came to escape the economic oppression of their homelands.

particularly when those minorities have done much to earn our respect. The

February 21, 1992, issue of the Messenger, however, suggests that I am not

divisiveness. Great strides have been taken on the road to equality.
