No, one does not need to be born into a cultural group to understand the culture. Understanding a culture can be achieved through education, exposure, interactions, and open-mindedness. Respectfully engaging with the community and being willing to learn about their customs, traditions, values, and history can also deepen one's understanding of a culture.

I believe that Culture is the unique possession of man. Man is born and brought up in a cultural environment. Man is not only a social animal but also a cultural being. Man cannot survive as a man without culture. Culture fulfils our needs and represents the entire achievements of mankind.E. B. Taylor defined culture as "that complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, art, morale, laws, customs and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society."Functions of Culture:Culture has been fulfilling a number of functions which may be divided into two - (a) for the individual and (b) for the group.a. Importance to the individual:(1) Culture distinguishes man from animal. It is the culture that makes the human animal a man. It regulates his conduct and prepares him for a group life. Without culture he would have been forced to find his own way which would have meant a loss of energy.(2) Culture provides solution for complicated situations. Culture provides man a set of behaviour for difficult situations. In the absence of culture man would have been baffled even at the simplest situations. Culture not only defines but also determines what we eat and drink, when to sleep, when to laugh etc.(3) Culture provides traditional interpretation to certain situations. Through culture man gets traditional interpretations for many situations according to which he determines his behaviour. For example, if a cat crosses his way he postpones the journey.(4) Culture shapes personality. No child can develop human qualities in the absence of cultural environment. Culture prepares man for group life. It is culture that provides opportunities for the development of personality and sets limits on its growth.b. Importance for the group:(1) Culture keeps social relationship intact. Culture has importance not only for men but also for the group. Culture prepares man for group life. Group life would have been poor, nasty, and short if there had been no cultural regulations. Group solidarity rests on the foundation of culture.(2) Culture has given a new vision to the individual. Secondly, culture has given a new vision to the co-operation of the individuals. Culture teaches him to think of himself as a part of the larger whole. It provides him with the concepts of family, state, nation etc. and makes possible the coordination and division of labour.(3)Culture creates new needs. Finally, culture also creates new needs and drives, for example, thirst for knowledge and arranges for their satisfaction. It satisfies the moral and religious interests of the members of the group.Conclusion:From the discussion we know that culture is the unique possession of man. No one can develop human qualities without culture. Culture distinguishes, leads, changes the personality of the individual and structure of the group.
Having one great grandparent from a particular culture does not often cause people to claim that culture for their own. You can if you like, and doing so may carry some advantages in some situations, especially in US for economic aide for previously disadvantaged minorities. But if you do not participate in or understand the Latin culture, and were not raised in it, there would seem to be little point in doing so, other than crass personal advantage. Most people claim an ancestor's ethnic identity as their own when they have some pride in it and want to perpetuate some elements of the culture in the midst of a larger group of a different culture. Sometimes the larger culture forces people to accept identification with such a minority culture, but in that case it is because there is some cultural stigma involved.
Culture refers to the beliefs, customs, arts, and way of life of a particular society or group of people. It encompasses their language, traditions, rituals, and social behaviors that are passed down from generation to generation. Cultural influences shape individuals' identities, values, and how they interact with others.
Your not born racist as such. Racism is caused through your upbringing or cultural differences; Such as if a child is brought up in a multicultural area, theoretically it will understand other cultures and religions and won't become racist. But if a child is brought up in a single cultural area and doesn't understand other cultures, beliefs and religions, theoretically it will grow up to be racist. Also If a child has been brought up with racist parents or siblings it will believe that it's OK to be openly racist. Other cases may be if some one has been discriminated against or attacked because of culture, race or colour they may stereotype the attackers background.
