America's culture is unique because people from every corner of the globe have contributed to it. The more diverse a culture is, the richer it is. The citizens of the United States must be ready to embrace their country's diversity and to celebrate it. No ethnic, racial, or religious group is superior to any other. To be tolerant and to truly accept that we are all different but equal must be America's goal for the 21st Century. The message conveyed by this video is that we should not fear those who are different from us. Rather, we should seize the opportunity to learn from other people and to enjoy what they can share.
