One important thought I've taken from these posts is the notion of positionality, of who speaks for whom, when, why, in whose interests. Who am I to say what labels or names make sense for anyone but myself? Cultural competence, broadly, seems to address a whole spectrum of thought that the list may or may not wish to explore. The purpose of our communication here, I hope, is to help one another think more broadly, be better teachers and learners and not assume one thing or another. Or if we do make assumptions, we need to state them clearly, and be open to other ways of thinking about things. Issues like racism and xenophobia are very complex; some of the suggestions and readings offered are very useful tools for working through questions and thoughts about all of the above.
