It depends how broad you consider the representation to be. If you think a 22 minute animated program can adequately represent a 'culture' on its own, then you really should sterilize yourself as soon as possible.

Bold for point, underlined for what I didn't notice the first time I read it. However, how many seasons has it been running? How many episodes? Hell, I think you could sum up a culture [more or less] in two season. And why do you think it being animated takes away from the complexity?
Yes, I am trying here.
Animated programs aren't exactly known for their educational capabilities or depth of thought, and that's okay. Could a culture be explained in full with the airtime the boondocks has had? I don't think so. I've been living in one area my entire life and the local 'culture' I still don't understand sometimes.
Educational influence is one thing [and that is a matter of opinion], but accurately portraying a culture [though, keep in mind it's a comic strip] is not deemed as "educational" by most. Just asking if the portrayal [minus the ridiculous moments] is accurate.
As far as the culture around you, I'm sure you have a good feeling about the folkways, mores, social norms, greetings, dating customs, rituals, music, gender roles, how sub-cultures are treated, et c. And that sounds like you have a good idea.
