For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilt%E2%80%93shame%E2%80%93fear_spectrum_of_cultures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilt%E2%80%93shame%E2%80%93fe... someone from one type would have a hard time understanding the actions of someone from the other type "why did you do that?".
Even if you manage to intellectually understand the concept, internalizing it is a whole other level, which takes time and lots of contact.

Maybe it’s because I’ve had people literally tell me to my face that my people hate dogs and abuse them, or do all manner of other inhumane things, but they don’t know they’re telling me about me because I’m also white and they don’t think I also come from the culture they’re describing.
