Multiculturalism doesn't work

I'll take a shot

Define "Multiculturalism" please.

What's your definition?

I define it as identifying, promoting, and preserving cultural differences among classes of people within a single nation.

I think it is virtually certain to lead to factionalism and ultimately the break up of the nation. Which may be okay. But I think multiculturalism leads almost inevitably to the break up of any nation that practices it so if that is NOT what you want, then you need to trun around and start marching the other way.

I think the culture of a nation needs to adapt, adopt, grow, and change with different cultural influences, including from immigrants, but it should always be trending toward homogeneity. Otherwise it will be trending toward civil war.

Although I wouldn't say "break up of any nation", more like getting things pretty fucked up.
 
Organic multiculturalism works.

IE: Not bussing inner city black kids into a nice, white neighborhood.
Yeah, I think people celebrating their culture is fine. If gays want to dance around in the streets good for them. The problem I have is if the government tries to enforce multculturalism. i.e. Affirmative Action.
 
After reading Pat Buchanan's "Day of Reckoning," I am giving a lot of thought to what he said on this issue, "To hold together a multiethnic or multilingual state, either an authoritanian regime or a dominant ethnocultural core is essential." "For few nations are as multiracial, multiethic, multilingual, and multicultural as the United States. And as Talbott wrote, 'The big question these days is which political forces will prevail, those stitching nations together or those tearing them apart?' Will what separates us - race, ethnicity, culture, morality, and faith - prove stronger than what unites us?"
