The Cross-Cultural American presents culture-a scientific, non-volatile context which enables a discussion of America's real differences; it shows Americans how to live and work together harmoniously in a multicultural society. Race was an appropriate emphasis for America when the Black/White racial issue divided the nation and defined the inequities of our society. America's challenge today is not race; it is an unprecedented multicultural society. The contemporary challenge is not just for Black and White Americans, but for every ethnic group to become cross-cultural Americans. Cross-cultural Americans make the paradigm shift from "color to culture." No one can afford to be "culture blind" today. Barack Obama's election may well have marked the end of America's obsession with race. He was right on the mark when he identified himself as "post-racial."
