So it is pretty common? Because I feel like with the places that I've lived here in the US people of different cultures just don't mix. Where I'm at now there is a definite Italian section and a definite Dutch section, and not a whole lot of overlap. I run across Italian men named Giancarlo, but I would never in a million years run across a Dutch man named Giancarlo. Even when I lived in California. White American, Hispanic and Indian people were all seperate. In school (I lived there for middle school) generally people of one culture only spent time with people of the same culture, and that went to places where we lived, names, grocery stores even in some cases. My only real experience of culture is of these little cultural islands with yellow tape around them, if you know what I mean.
