People around you might be embarrassed for you:

1. If you offer compliments that leave a person feeling vaguely insulted.

2. If you use other people’s cultures flippantly.

3. If you pass judgment on why a person uses whatever dialect they choose.

4. If you offer unsolicited advice about how to care for someone’s hair.

5. If you make generalized statements and ignore the significant diversity within every race.
