Cultural sensitivity awareness  is not a one way thing ..

No matter what you display everything can be interpreted differently
by different people .. whether you like it or not .. we cant prevent
that .. its impossible ..

symbols interpretation is always relative to culture and surroundings
.. the cross can be interpreted holy by GroupA, but can be interpreted
as an a symbol of insult by GroupB ... but that does not mean GroupB
should be offended if they see a member of GroupA is wearing a cross
..

being sensitive to these differences does not only mean that PersonA
should refrain from doing doing something that's fine in PersonA's
culture if PersonA knows that in the culture of PersonB its an
offensive thing.

but it also mean a PersonA should tolerate if PersonB did something
that to PersonB's culture its fine but offensive to PersonA's culture
..

lets stop this thread pls .. this type of debate will never end ..
