Although there will always be differences I'm sure people from different races cultures would get along a lot better if they actually took the time to understand each other.

This would suggest that the human mind should be reasonably adept at reading subtitles although I do think it takes some getting used to. When I watched a subbed film afterwards I often can't tell you if the film was subbed or dubbed and will quote the film in English as to me that is what they said. It has problems when learning theme tunes since I learn words that obviously don't fit the tune and then try to sing along to myself.
