Honestly? yes and no. SOME Americans are very ignorant when it comes to learning about a new culture. They believe its a waste of time and/or fear the unknown. Yet on a positive note, there are also Americans that embrace diversity and welcome the educaton of a new culture. Those Americans find that experience in itself liberating and mind-stimulating. So its not all Americans that are ignorant, just those who don't know any better.

So, one might reason that the reason to learn other cultures is one of keeping things interesting. For some humans, mystery and unknown is interesting. In addition, knowing other cultures helps one understand the world. Cultures are like puzzle pieces which make up the world, once those puzzle pieces are understood, well, you get an interesting sphere.
