Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. Cross-cutting social differences mean that one social difference becomes powerless or unimportant to another social difference. When different social groups share similarities, they cross-cut those differences and remain united. For example, people belonging to different castes or religions can be united based on their income status. Poor people can be united based on economic conditions rather than social identities. Another example can be seen in the Civil Rights Movement in the USA when Peter Norman supported Tommie Smith and John Carlos in the Mexico Olympics in 1968. Even though he was white, they shared another similar identity as athletes. That is why every social difference does not lead to social division.
The correct statement is that cross-cutting social differences are easier to accommodate.
