Cultivated: having or showing good education, taste, and manners[1]

Even the title is dripping with disdain and condescension. Seems like he has to spend a bit more time going native. [2]

It's best to avoid judging people's interests, and learning a bit about them can definitely help you interact with people. Faking interest, as many do due to social pressures, is ineffective in the long run as well.
