Culture is the product of the collective programming of human minds.
The problem is that the 'acculturation' process is so subtle that we are often unaware of its consequences. It goes very deep. We tend to become aware of cultural differences because of superficial phenomena like the way people speak, eat and dress. But it goes much deeper than that. Culture determines the way we react differently from others to a shared experience, leading to assumptions, predispositions and ultimately prejudices.
