She probably has no concept at all of different cultures. I think for people who haven't directly encountered a foreign country on its own terms - that is, not by watching some foreign movies and knowing a few foreigners who live near them or whatever - it's easy for culture to be invisible. That is what culture is designed to do fundamentally, after all, is make you take its assumptions for granted. People who haven't been confronted with another culture up close are prone to actually taking them for granted so much that they don't even realise they are doing it. Which isn't to excuse them, though, at least not after the point when someone introduces them to the idea. And certainly not if they're trying to analyse the art of another culture.
