I havent heard this sentiment in literature much, but i've witnessed insulated and exclusive sentiments w/r/t other art. For example, I was once told that not knowing some rare Broadway was uncultured of me. I'm thinking: - No, that is your culture. It is valid culture, but not the only culture. I watch films tackling other issues in other subsets of the population. Their issues may not be the mainstream issues, but that doesnt make it not part of culture. This has nothing to do with books, or music, or art. It has to do with people who want to use beautiful art to create a wedge or power dynamic or culture dynamic rather than simply enjoy or learn from the art. And it is a dangerous behavior, because as soon as one brands others (mentally) as uncultured or of a lower class, it helps them justify unjust behaviors.
