I think you have way too much time on your hands and spend it endlessly on the Piclist basically churning away. If you want to learn about cultural sensitivity, why don't you take some of that time you spend on the Piclist and instead do some volunteer work at a homeless shelter, or a school, or a church. You'll learn a lot about people, and be doing something worthwhile in the process.
