Multicultural Ways of Seeing

What would a multicultural way of being look like? I am sketching a few ideas about this, but what I am proposing is something like a "deep ecology" of multiculturalism: a kind of way of looking at diversity that is challenging to one's beliefs in one's own culture as well as open to learning the ways of others. How, more significantly, might meditation play a role in cultivating such a culture?
   In the group sitting today, I pointed out the idea that the open windows allow a lot of air to blow in, as well as sounds outside. One can either view the sounds and the air as obstructions or just as "things coming and going"---and in this regard, the room itself can be a reflection of mind. Is it possible that multicultural society can also be a way of thinking that challenges the notion of a fixed identity that possesses power and privilege over others? Can seeing the world as comprised of difference perhaps be a meditation itself?
   I don't know the answers to these questions but I would like to suggest that being vulnerable to listening to others' sharing their experiences is a very good way to understand how to think "multiculturally": to see past the veil of prejudice that we often assume from our collective cultures. Seeing without judgment (a hallmark of meditation and mindfulness) is also a good way of cultivating a sustained openness to others' voices, while questioning one's own identity. How, then, can these two perspectives (meditative and multicultural) be combined into one single way of being? This is a question I am wrestling with.
