How can you ask someone of Indigenous or American or a Saudi or African world view to not identify with who they are culturally?

In response to that I ask you one thing....

Look at the bigger picture... WHERE ARE WE ALL FROM?

I'll give you a hint:

Big blue and Green ball in space. 😉

Of course, but people aren't going to give up who they are culturally willingly. I know many people who are very proud of their herritage and plan on teaching it to their children in a way that makes them proud enough of who they are to teach their children one day. These people will not give up their cultural identity voluntarily.... would you suggest that this can some how accomplished by force? No one will adapt to some common culture. The only way is to keep our own culture and beliefs, but don't shoove them down people's throats.

Okay, thats easy really...

We are all from different cultural, ethnic, a national heritages with individual views of the world that do not always agree with one another. These individual wolrd views make the world a diverse and colorful place to live. I would not want a world that has no diversity. If we can appreciate diversity and difference without killing one another, that is the key to achieving peace.

I am not saying No Diversity and no regards to Cultural backgrounds, ethics, views or morality... I am saying Look PAST those differences and look at the bigger picture... HUMAN PROGRESS.

Human Progress is a fairly generic term, would please give us your definition of what that involves as far as what needs to be changed in order to achieve peaceful coexistence.

Okay....

what I am trying to get at is that most nations are wrapped up in trying to make their Country or whatever "A great place to live." Can we not make every country a great place to live? A place where we look past race, ethnicity, religion, etc, and just get along?

I mean stop focussing on what is best for your country and look at what is best for the world? For all of humanity.

I don't see that happening any time soon. Individually perhaps, I try my hardest to get along with everyone, but it is not exactly a realistic goal that everyone can achieve world wide in my life time.
