Question

which cultures are most closely aligned in valuing dependence over autonomy? American mainstream and Native American
or Mexican American and Native American

Answer 1

Well, everyone knows Mexican Americans are lazy, and that Native Americans are drunks, and that Mexican Americans are dependent on welfare, and that Native Americans are stubborn.

So have you had any lessons in this course about stereotyping, and generalizations?

I suspect not. You might seek that out, frankly, I am surprised your school gave you a text that supports such sloppy thinking.
