The culture for raising a child across the USA is not all the same. Rasing a child in NYC is not the same as raising a child in Grand Forks ND, or Davenport IOWA.

I live in Pennsylvania. There's a nice mix of white/black/latino/asian/indian/african/jew/gentile/conservative/liberal in my area. My son just started attending a community college respected for its high standards and great programs. He has a job, is helping his old school with their band program and will continue his interest in acting that he developed there. He's polite and respectful to young and old while irreverent in his disdain for archaic beliefs. He's an independent thinker. He's had several girlfriends and not impregnated any of them.

I couldn't be more proud of him or have wished for a better environment in which to have raised him. In fairness, his conscientious Dominican mother deserves much of the credit for how he's turned out. But as Bob says, "The culture for raising a child across the USA is not all the same."
