Coming into contact with a new culture can be confusing for people who've never had to deal with cultures other than their own, as Waters points out. For immigrants, the natural response is to start judging things according to what's different from their own culture, especially the negative things. For Waters, though, growing up in a multicultural environment taught him how to find the good in the differences too.
「對沒有接觸過不同文化的人來說，在與異文化首次相遇時，經常不知道該怎麼辦，」華適文說，面對移民，大家第一個自然反應往往是看到彼此相異之處，「而且是看到對方的壞處，」但從小就處在多元文化環境中，他卻學著去看好的不同點。
