Tell a story multiple times, each time relying on tropes from different cultures/subcultures as scaffolding to build the story. Of course, this is difficult, needing to be versed in tropes of multiple cultures.
This is in response to those who protest a story for the tropes it employs, often identity politics. Protesting scaffolding misses the point of the building.
A good story captures something universal about the human condition, so should be translatable.
Ambitiously, create a tool to translate a story from one culture's tropes to another's.
