Muticulturalism = cultural pollution.
Nah, I say we're way beyond that. Multiculturalism is to Marxist thought as the debris inside the sarcophagus is to Chernobyl.
I see nothing wrong with multiculturalism if the definition of the term is learning as much about other people's cultures and history as possible.
Where I have a problem with the concept is when it serves to demonize OTHER cultures and peoples-Caucasian and Western-in the same way that the Europhiles and racialists of the Nineteenth Century did to"people of color"to justify imperial designs on their lands and resources.
The irony in the multicultural envirnments of the public schools today is that it seems the more the system tries to promote the multicultural concept,the LESS able the studetns are to get along.
And I'm not talking about WHITE kids, since there are virtually none in my school system but black,Mexican and Asian who seem to be more and more isolated and suspicious of each other.
