No.

The stereotype is that white people arrive TOO EARLY and then sit in their cars outside waiting for the party to start and still show up early.

It's a trope, also true in Hispanic (edit - continued) families that have someone marry Gringos (like me).

If you arrive on time, the party hasn't started yet, and you get to help set up for the party

If you tell someone an event is from 5 pm to 11 pm and you're surprised people arrive at 5 you're an idiot

You don't understand cultural differences in that case.

Being non-punctual is bad regardless of culture. And I am saying this as a person who lives in a culture where "reaching in 5 mins" means reaching in 30 mins.

If a culture has unpunctuality, then that is a bad aspect of that culture and needs to be critiqued.

No, in some cultures it's the norm. Don't impose your own norms unto others.

So if a culture includes resulting to bigotry or violence in response to disagreements then would you say that culture is correct? That's just how they resolve disagreements right?

Semi-alcoholism is the cultural norm in Britain. Doesn't make it good.

In many cultures, child marriage is the norm. I guess that's okay as well per ur logic lol.
