Do's and Don'ts when teaching about cultural differences

Do talk about everybody's differences:

Why? Because it clears the air. It puts us on the same footing. It shows the ridiculousness of racism. It helps us laugh at ourselves. It helps us think outside of the box. It makes us more empathetic.

Don't single out specific people or ethnic groups:

As teachers we MUST consider all races, cultures, peoples, and nations, to be clear about the good things as well as the bad things of each culture's history and present customs.
