Responses to Cultural Identity

When I had asked people about what cultural identity meant to them, the frequent answer I would get from them, are usually something that has to do with their OWN culture and their own beliefs. I wouldn't really get an answer on another type of race except their own. For example, when I asked my mom, she would give me something about our religion and how Filipinos act and whatnot, and I had asked around my friends what responses they got, and they had gotten the same thing. But I would also get answers like: "Cultural Identity has something to do with the food you eat, the kind of people you hang out with." and so on. But even then, when food would get brought up, its usually a type of food that has to do with what their culture or their race eats. Also, cultural identity doesn't have to do with just food you eat or the kind of people you hang out with, it also has to do with the type of music you listen to, your hobbies, any sports or activities you do, and the list goes on. It could even be stereotypical, that's usually the kind of answer I would get anyways.
