My sister wrote a very long blog post the other day.
I have my own two cents to throw in:
If you're against cultural exchange, and react to it in the same way that the people my sister is complaining about do, you're basically a Nazi.
Suggesting that something from another culture should be ignored/kept away simply because it is from another culture (which seems to ultimately be the crux of a lot of these reactions, even though those who have them would deny it) is a form of xenophobia, the central feature of fascism, of which Nazism is the best known example.
You can disagree with me if you want-after all, this is my opinion. But it's still an unpleasant, hateful, and at worst evil mindset.
