If you look at most successful people they all have a mentor. When it comes to understanding a new culture or religion the mentor can be a buddy of the same age. It will really work. If you look at people's behaviour, one will not talk bad about alcoholics if one of their close family member is an alcoholic. Same way one would take the effort to understand a new culture and religion if his buddy is from that culture/religion. It is such a simple but really powerful idea.
My b*tching is about people preaching that my culture is better, so on and so forth.

I really like your idea.
