I need to interview someone from a different culture than my own (white american)

This is too vague.

No, it's actually absurd. There is no "typical" American. We are a multicultural nation with hundreds, no, thousands, probably millions of varieties and variables.


Music, literature, theater, movies, sports, food. living conditions, lifestyle... There is no "typical". If you think that there is, you're mistaken.

Further, you may want to consider giving an age range.

This forum is mostly White Americans (with a couple of Brits and Australians thrown in).

I might try a site called conversation exchange (www.conversationexchange.com) ... it is usually used to learn language, you trade an hour of conversation in your language for an hour of theirs.

If you were honest in your profile, I bet someone from another country would be willing to talk to you. It would be practice for them in English. Just spell out clearly what you want, and afterwards be willing to spend an hour helping them practice English.
