It's odd how a lot of countries espouse multiculturalism. The nation, and the country, are tied to culture. (British culture is not American culture is not Australian culture, et cetera, et cetera). Supporting multiculturalism is supporting a fracturing of a country into a bunch of little groups. Disturbingly, this is probably because such people in such countries (supporters of multiculturalism) are not aware that multi
culturalism and multi
racial are two separate things. Culture is neither tied to genes nor ancestry (unless you're a proponent of heriditary viruses affecting cultural development). An American of African, Asian, or Amerindian descent can be a member of the American culture, which is largely--though not completely--European in origin and current status. Similarly, the few Chinese of European descent in Hong Kong could have an Asian culture. And in the future, if southern African nations are able to develop sufficiently, Africans of European descent could have and African culture. The same goes for Europeans of African or Asian descent. (Confusing?).
Multiracialism should be supported (genetic diversity is good for preventing inbreeding), not multiculturalism.

...Multiracialism should be supported (genetic diversity is good for preventing inbreeding), not multiculturalism. With all due respect I say: "Wrong". IMHO neither "multiracialism" nor "multiculturalism" should be supported by either the government or judicially enforced social-pressure. Instead, laissez faire -- leave people alone! Those cultures that people want will survive, those that they don't will fall by the wayside. Call it social darwinism. After all, it's not much of a cultural heritage if you have to browbeat people in to "celebrating" it.
