It mainly has to do with the way it is taught in schools and at home, so yes it is a cultural thing. I think a lot of people convince themselves they can't do math so they don't put the effort in to actually learn anything. My dad is a full-on math retard, but I am an undergraduate physics major. I think my dad would actually have done well enough in math, but for whatever reason starting when he was a kid he decided he couldn't do math, and so now he really can't do even basic math. Kinda pathetic in my opinion, but still love him, right?
