Waste of time
 

You can only be culturally competent if you include ALL cultures including but not limited to: 

Australians, Algerians, Germans, French, Italians, Iranian, Syrians, Indians, Nigerians, Ethiopian, Egyptian, Burmese, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Greek, Honduran, Liberian, Swiss, Polish, Japanese, Brazilian, Argentina, Peruvian, Spanish, Turkish,  and the list goes on. If you base your cultural competency requirements only on one race, does that make you culturally insensitive? Stop the madness!!
