US: Guest commentary: Developing skills of cultural competency
News Gazette – September 11, 2016
Words sometimes matter. Behavior always matters. Cultural competence exists in between words and behaviors. It’s treacherous territory. Because in between words and behaviors disagreement flourishes. In the United States, no disagreement is larger, no topic more culturally treacherous, no incompetency more apparent, than in our conversation about race.
