It's an example of the two-edged sword of cultural awareness. If one lacks it, one might make an embarrasing but unintentional error - for example, bringing a bouquet of 'mums. On the other hand, if one wishes to annoy, the same knowledge could be used for that very purpose.
As we choose to expand cultural training, I suggest that not everyone will use their new information in the kindest of ways.
