Because they are in the majority culture, people in the "mainstream" cannot be ethnocentric. True or False

False.

Explanation:

Ethnocentrism in social science and anthropology—as well as in colloquial English discourse—means to apply one's own culture or ethnicity as a frame of reference to judge other cultures, practices, behaviors, beliefs, and people, instead of using the standards of the particular culture involved.

Instead of looking and learning from a culture from an outside perspective much of mainstream culture apply and compare their own practices and rules with that of another culture and judge them according to mainstream culture norms, instead of the rules that originate in the other groups culture.

So the answer to this question is false because people in the mainstream culture CAN be ethnocentric.
