No, I don't think it is out of place at all :-) The quote you make is certainly how I approach culture, but if you were to look at more collectivist values like the Chinese tend to have, or a more closed/exclusive culture like the Rom, the answers would likely be quite different.
In Western, contemporary, especially internet-enabled circles I think we tend to be used to cultures, subcultures, values, traditions and everything being a lot more blended and blendable. Influences more eclectic, and less encapsulated and cohesive. It's important to recognise that that's not the only experience, community-concept and self-concept that people will have.
